Congress had Jon Stewart testify on a multibillion dollar bill. This shows how stupid our Congressional leadership has become.

Stewart went on an ignorant, self serving rant about a bill that had no opposition and was about to pass unanimously.

On the day after the hearing, the full House Judiciary Committee approved the legislation by voice vote unanimously. No members were indifferent to the 9/11 bill, as Stewart dishonestly claimed.

He was chiding the members who couldn’t
be bothered to come to the hearing.

Don’t NYC police and firemen already have excellent health care through their employer?

Normally, I’d say ANY rant about Congress is completely justified and worthy. They are the lowest form of bottom-feeding scum-suckers on the planet. With the exception of Nunes, Meadows, Gaetz and a few others, of course.

Tell you what, if emergency responders were going to be present for a hearing, nailing my foot to the floor would not have prevented me from being there to greet them.

They provided incredible services, endured terrible scenes and literal carnage, and today they have health issues related to that service.

I would show them the utmost respect in person.

I’m not a fan of Stewart. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him. He was right.

Who is this guy, and why should anyone care what he rants about?

[alloysteel]

Jon Stewart runs in the room with a flame thrower, and leaves scorched earth everywhere he goes. It is impossible to disentangle Jon Stewart from rash ignorance and diarrhea of the mouth, yet in some circles, he is held to be the blazing and righteous White Knight, with a following that truly believes he is some kind of crusading journalist, a profession for which he has ZERO credentials.

He wasn’t even a very good comedian, yet somehow fancied himself to be the reincarnation of Groucho Marx. Groucho Marx was sort of funny at least part of the time.

Cool. Did not watch his rant and wont now. They were going to Pass the bill they had a lobbyist write for them anyway Jon. So there. Lol.

“There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers like, Jon Stewart, and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance.

They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”

Only “5 reasons” Stewart’s rant was completely ignorant? He must have had a really good day of sanity.

Now I’m waiting for him to donate $5 million to the 9/11 Fund. Kachink!!

[Captain Compassion]

There are hundreds of first responders nation wide that are every bit as brave and disserving as the NYC first responders. Where is their help?

[trebb]

For once, he was right...
