Jon Stewart went off on Senate Democrats last night for failing to get their health care reform plan past the Senate Finance Committee despite having a super majority. The Democrats had the numbers on the committee, but several members of their party voted against the amendments despite 65% national approval for the plan. Stewart argued that the "Democrats couldn't get laid in a house sole purpose is to have consequence and disease-free sex with legislators on finance committees."

1. Most appropriate line:
"Well then, you're a fucking idiot."

With a majority of legislators and a policy supported by 65% of the public, Democrats still can't do it.

2. I just watched that this afternoon. Should be required viewing for anyone w/ "D" after their name!
He hit the nail on the head, as usual. I loved that line about 'You're a *** idiot!' I gotta see that show live sometime. Loves me some Jon Stewart!
