Daily Show Plays Around With Weiner
TPM ^ | 6.01.11 | Jon Terbush

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.

I bet he’s been called to Pelosi’s office: where Weiners go to die.

By reading what the Dummies are posting, I see they seem to be more concerned with the media (CNN) than they are at getting at the truth for Huma’s own good.

Democrats believe other elected Democrats are as pure as saints.

How do you know he's not a contortionist?

The DUmmies are not at all interested in the truth unless it fits their agenda. They are just covering their Weiner and are upset that CNN is actually trying to cover the story exposing the Weiner being a weiner.
