The Daily Show

Mike over at MainePolitics.net points out that U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud (D-East Millinocket) has his photo on the Daily Show blog about the Democratic National Convention.

“Believe it or not, our trip here hasn't only been movie stars pretending to care about stuff.  We've also seen some honest to goodness politicians who might actually care about stuff like Rep. Mike Michaud of Maine…,” the post said.

John McCain’s trip to South Portland Monday yielded a mention on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show as part of a spoof on the media’s obsession with Barack Obama.

In the segment, Host Jon Stewart introduced two correspondents, one to cover Obama overseas, the other to cover McCain, “and this is true, at a picnic at the military museum in South Portland, Maine,” Stewart said. The crowd laughed. Five correspondents showed up at Obama’s site, giddy about Obama.
