Jon Stewart on What the GOP's Movie Clip Says to the Tea Party: Your Single-Minded Mania Will Be Your Downfall
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart expressed bafflement over GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy's choice of film clips to rally the Republican troops during the debt ceiling fight. "The Town? The Town??" he asked. Of all the movies out there, "you went with the Boston-bank-robbers-in-nun-costumes flick?" Indeed he did. And not only that -- he picked a clip that is really not at all flattering to Tea Partiers, if you know anything about The Town. "Let me see if I understand this metaphor," said Stewart. "The establishment Republicans are saying to the Tea Party upstarts, 'Hey, you know the violent, unstable, borderline sociopath from The Town? Who's useful in a pinch, but whose suicidal, single-minded mania will ultimately be his downfall? That's you guys.'"
That, plus the Chuck Schumer-ization of Star Wars (!), in the clip below:
