Video Of The Day: The Daily Show On Gay Marriage

I don't know if you caught it tonight or not, but Jon Stewart absolutely destroyed conservative creep Bill Bennett on The Daily Show tonight. Bennett has some book out about moral values and went on the show to talk about it. Since gay marriage is the political 'moral' issue of the day and Bennett has made his fortune writing books and giving speeches on values (despite his massive gambling problems and racial bigotry, amongst other moral failings), Jon Stewart decided that he would be the perfect guest to discuss the marriage amendment that Bush and the Repugs have been pushing this week to win back some of their religious base in this important election year. Well, Stewart not only dominated the conversation with facts and wit, he pretty much destroyed every argument and talking point that Bill Bennett regurgitated. It was awesome and you should look for the video in the coming days as it gets passed around the internets (Crooks And Liars should probably have it up and running by tomorrow at some point).


Jon Stewart is my savior.

Since it's too early to get tonight's video, I'm instead posting a video of a segment that The Daily Show did last year talking about the 1 year MA gay marriage anniversary that features correspondent Ed Helms. It's very funny and the idiot that Helms interviews in the video is pretty much similar to Bill Bennett and his ridiculous presentation tonight of the anti-gay talking points. Check it out. It's funny and really well done. Enjoy.
