'You're F*cking With Us, Right?' Jon Stewart Delivers Stinging Takedown of Ted Cruz Filibuster



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/youre-fcking-with-us-right-jon-stewart-delivers-stinging-takedown-of-ted-cruz-filibuster/

After listening to part of Ted Cruz‘s 21-hour Nazi-invoking filibuster, Jon Stewart was convinced that whatever Cruz was speaking out against must be nothing less than the zombie apocalypse. So he was more than a little confused at how Cruz was going on about Obamacare, mocking Cruz’s constant tangents and his apparent lack of seriousness about really solving America’s health care crisis.

I'm so glad a lot of young people watch Jon & Stephen Colbert. Humor is so much more effective in presenting the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction freakshow, now in its thirteenth year.

I like Jon's "news" -- he has nailed Ted Cruz in a comic's credible variation of Cruz's own absurdity. This is the kind of news profile all nutwingers actually deserve if they have to be seen/heard at all over the airwaves.

Hilarious episode. One after another!

from you link..

“So to express your opposition to Obamacare, you go to the book about a stubborn jerk who decides he hates something before he’s tried it, and when he finally gets a taste, he has to admit after he’s tasted it, ‘This is pretty fucking good.’”

"Stewart then went after Cruz on the specifics of his health care objections, and ended the segment with an epic reading of a fake Dr. Seuss book called The Bore-ax, containing phrases like “showboatiest blab” and “hours of mouth masturbation."

Brilliant.. mahalo!

He should fire whatever staffer handed him that book to read. If he chose it himself, he should resign.
