Poking fun both at our individual inability to set aside personal preferences about how things should be done, and our collective blind-sightedness to how broad based culture informs the ways of others.

Something for everyone. To the newsman who questioned the seating arrangements, Stewart reminded us we were not watching the Emmys. In response to one who called the memorial a “show,” a great play on words between “morning show” and “mourning show.” To Brit Hume, who found the inclusion of a Native American prayer “peculiar,” a rant about the memorial not being quite American enough for the likes of the Fox News commentator. And in response to those who thought the memorial was more like a pep rally than the somber event it should have been, he invoked the cheer of an Irish wake.
And kudos to the pundit round table at the end. All about “me, me, me, me, me." And to the little character-sized figurines of Italian widows dressed in black, memories of my childhood.
