Congress and Pro Wrestling

I remember the daily show being funny a few years back, don't know what happened :Not-Impressed:

Mostly jon just seems angry, and they try and make serious points but since they are dressing it up as humor they skim and exaggerate.

I think this clip misses the point by a mile. He shows clips of congressman accusing people of the other party and defending people from their own. And then concludes that they "have no standards". Obviously they do have a standard: keeping their guys in office and bumping a few of the other guys out, so that they can pass the legislation they think is best for the country. Why is jon criticizing them for watering down the bill and then objecting to them playing politics to gain a majority?

90% of the people watching are inconsistent in how they will criticize a politician. I was the same way myself around election time.

He also said something like "she has to remind us that congress should be held to a higher ethical standard than perverts" when clearly she was saying they should be held to a higher ethical standard than regular citizens. Sloppy.
