It's hard to imagine a better setup for an occasionally puerile comedy show than the developing story about a congressman named Weiner allegedly posting a picture of his weiner on the Internet.
For The Daily Show, that kind of comedy was right in their wheelhouse, their "sweet spot" as Jon Stewart said Tuesday night, before launching into a series of jokes about bulges, shrinkage, and the phallic nature of dolphin snouts.
"This Twitter is something else," Stewart said. "In the old days, a Congressman had to chisel images of his penis on limestone, or sit for days for penis portraiture and then have a runner take it to the damsel they wanted to horrify."
Stewart also said that, though he could not be sure, he didn't think the image actually showed his old friend Rep. Anthony Weiner whom he said he'd swum with in the past.
"My memory is this cat had a lot more Anthony and a lot less weiner," Stewart said.
Watch the video at link:
Don’t be so hard on Weiner. Someone is just trying to give him the shaft.
And that was in the days before Viagra™ or Cialis™
Finally we have the ability to put our foot in out mouths at the Speed of Light.
If you want the news about any democrat go to the British press..
It wasn’t his foot that got him in trouble..................
Your link came up empty for me, but here’s one in which a DUer thinks the whole thing is a hoax:

I saw the picture and it looked like the Rabbi must have kept the majority.
Thought TheDaily Show was always just Jon Stewart playing with his weiner.
Last night I forced myself to watch MSNBC for a few minutes. I agree that they’re worried - they know what happened and there’s nothing that can be done to save him.
I think Wiener pulled a Boner.
Perhaps Weiner should meat with his staff and pull out before this thing comes to a head.
Wow. They're like a pack of panicked dogs. Biting at each other, biting at the air. Barking and yelping wildly.
Did anyone check blue dress for signs of mustard?
All dog and no bun.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new trix.
Wiener’s “link” spotted on twitter.
Yah, but his foot is the only thing he can put in his mouth.
How do you know he's not a contortionist?.........;^)
