No one caught the irony the Russian he interviewed is named "Sir Gay"!

> I haven't watched the show regularly in a long time but based on that clip Jason Jones seems pretty angry and doesn't fit the historic Daily Show vibe. Mine 2 cents.

There Jason Jones is, pointing out to the gay Russians they could come to America and be openly gay... but they don't want to leave Russia because they are "Russians first." These people are legally persecuted in their homeland, but are still too proud of their homeland to leave it.

Yet there too is Jason saying "That's fine... no one is American first."

You could turn Jason's question around and say "If you don't like it here... why don't just go to [insert country name]"? Why wouldn't he? He's not "American first" so why would he give a shit.

Kind of captures the popular sentiment in the States right now... to have any form patriotism is "lunacy"... no one would put their country first here... and quite frankly Hollywood would have you believe you should almost be ashamed to be American. But the biggest irony is that America has more freedoms and is more of what Hollywood wants the world to be like than almost anywhere else in the world, like, say... Russia! Talk about taking what you have for granted. We're not perfect... but we continuously strive and make progress to get it right.
