Stewart: It was an amendment proposed by Democratic Michigan Congressman Bart “I’m With” Stupak banning any new government health plan from paying for a certain, completely legal, constitutionally protected medical procedure. Take a guess which one? I’m going to write down my guess: gall bladder and gall bladder related issues.
After Congressman says it is wrong to use tax payers money for a procedure they find morally wrong, Stewart says: Paying taxes is like going to the zoo. Admission’s 20 bucks. You can’t walk in and go, “Here’s $18.50, I don’t like zebras.”
Admitting to this is like admitting that at one time in my life I would only eat steak if it was covered in Velveeta. Yes, I am a Midwestern girl who grew up a Republican. However, after watching this video from the Daily Show, I can now say with no regret, that I am no longer a member of the Republican party. As I now realize that steak is better without Velveeta, I now realize that my Grand Old Republican party will never return and has been completely hijacked by idiots.
Daily Show: The RNC’s new website features an American flag with hydraulics and Michael Steele’s blog, “What Up.”
Daily Show: Glenn Beck has to decide how much he trusts his government before getting the swine flu vaccine.
Daily Show blasts CNN for “leaving it there” when it comes to asking the hard questions. And we’re just going to have to leave it there.
Best Line: Stewart on CNN fact-checking an SNL skit about Obama: “While you were doing research did you also discover that sharks live in water and don’t deliver candygrams? That there’s no African-American equivalent of Mr. Rogers? And that the majority of boxes do not have dicks in them? Did you find that out? Were you able to look into that?”
Jon Stewart slams Obama for not getting rid of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” piling on to the growing chorus of liberal voices unhappy with Obama’s inability to affect the social change for which he was elected. I have never seen a bigger mandate wasted than the one Obama is sitting on. He’s in real danger of the “Do Nothing” label sticking to him for good.
Daily Show: Barack Obama says he has too much on his plate to revoke the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, so it’s time for him to chow down.
Stewart to Obama: I know that you have a lot on your desk plate. But as a thin man who smokes, you may not understand the concept. All that stuff you’ve been putting on your plate? It’s f-ing show time, brother! That’s how you get things off of your plate! Now, I know you’re a man of letters. You’ve probably never been on a cruise, but you should see the amount of shit people can put on what are very average size plates. Now, after going back four or five times they might say to themselves, “I feel terrible now.” But you know what? You’re the one who went on that cruise! You’re the one that asked for seconds, thirds, fourths, finish your own fucking plate! I gotta tell you, in the cornucopia of sliced meats, shrimp, block cheese and Waldorf salad, “don’t ask don’t tell” is maybe a little bit of rice pudding right over there on the side. You can finish that before you even get back to your table. Remeber, you’re the President of America. When you’re plate gets too full, you get up and get a bigger plate, mister!
Daily Show: Conservatives scream so loud against Obama’s health care reform that they drown out the Democrats’ incoherence.
Best Line: Everybody was townhall fighting! Those cats were talking about legislation!
Jon Stewart discusses “CrankyPants Suit” and her anger at a Congolese native over his question during an interview session. As Stewart says, “Can the Clintons do anything without it being reduced to a ‘Real Housewives’ episode?”
Republican scare tactics filter into the real debate on health care reform, taking their toll on President Obama’s sales pitch.
