Jon Stewart responds to Congressional first responders bill hearing.

[Prince Caspian]

Never cared much for Jon Stewart's politics. But his speech in front of a Congressional hearing on 9/11 first responders is epic. One of the best I've seen.

[napscoordinator]

I watched this clip on you tube. Powerful!!!!! I’d love to see a list of jerks who skipped this. I’d hope everyone of them get voted out. How disrespectful!!!!!

[Mount Athos]

[Rastus]

I hate his guts, so I don’t know.

Did the $1 Bil that was contributed by the people ever get distributed?

The Red Cross was real stingy and reluctant to let that money out of their hands.

Whether you like him or not, he stuck it up the a$$ of the congress, and he was right to do it.

[Bommer]

Piss on him. Whiney little bitch who chews out Republicans and wonders why they don’t show for his little whiney fest on a 9/11 slush fund. It’s not for first responders. It’s for ANYONE that claims they were impacted by the towers falling. Live nearby? You can claim from it. Sorry Jon Stewart can kiss my ass, and it’s been 18 years, enough of the gravy train.

[xrmusn]

I don’t care for him either BUT I do admire ANYONE who is in Contempt of Congress.....

If PROgress is moving ahead,
What
Is CONgress?

[DoughtyOne]

This is one time I’ll side with Stewart.

Congressional committee people should have been there and it’s disgraceful that they weren’t.

Leadership is under the Democrat’s control. I doubt Stewart will even think of that. He’ll probably hate Republicans for it.

In truth, any Republicans who failed to show, they deserve to have their asses kicked too.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Stewart makes a very passionate compelling argument, and Heroes must be taken care of but how far does this go?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Audit the fund before you allocate another dollar.

[Bommer]

In NY.? Limbaugh had to fight tax audits for 10 years after he moved to Florida to prove he didn’t live or work there anymore.

[lewislynn]

Can we please get over this "first responders" bullshit?

The real "first responders" are fiends, neighbors, relations, bystanders. You know, the ones who are THE FIRST ONES TO RESPOND to help people that need help, BEFORE the self-proclaimed "first responders" arrive...often times TOO LATE.

[teeman8r]

Agree

[SoConPubbie]

Stewart makes a very passionate compelling argument, and Heroes must be taken care of but how far does this go?

Till the last one dies!

[Beagle8U]

The NYC firefighters all ready have gold-plated HealthCare, retirement, and pensions, paid for by taxpayers. That is enough.

[Mount Athos]

good post

[GOPJ]

John Stewart gave up lucrative pay, massive prestige among liberals elites, and instant offers of the best table in the house whenever he dined out ... to... to... wait for it ... to help powerless first responders who were injured after 9/11 and their families. I stand in awe of anyone who can make this kind of choice. I'm speechless.
