Jon Stewart on the Daily Show set

After showing clips of House and Senate Republicans, just after the November election, saying they will break the Washington gridlock, Jon went off:
Stewart: Republicans now run both the House of Representatives and the Senate, which means Barack Obama faces the unstoppable tag team of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell—or as they were known in their old cop show—Turtle and Carrot. Turtle was the straight arrow, always played by the rules. Carrot was a loose cannon who was a great source of vitamin A and dietary fiber. Now these two powerful Republicans are perfectly poised to pass a litany of legislation and I am excited, for one, to see how it goes.....
(Clips of Republicans threatening to block Dept. of Homeland Security funding unless President Obama's immigration action is repealed)
Stewart: Are you kidding me? You're blocking DHS funding for a completely different immigration action? So, to stop the president from being too lenient on immigration, you want to defund the department that secures the border. That's really like saying, you know, you kids are too horny and oversexed. So, your mother and I have decided to take away all of your clothes. From now on if your friends want to visit you, they got to do it in our house, in the basement, on our couch, without supervision...next to the liquor cabinet while this, uh, Barry White album is playing.
Republicans, how can you gamble with homeland security? How can you gamble with homeland security, Republicans—as scared as you are.
he's hitting the nail on the head every since the Bush WH ignored numerous warnings that Bin Laden was planning to attack America then after the 911 attack has the audacity to tell Americans heading into 2012 election cycle they were the only ones who could keep us safe nobody on the right disputed the exaggeration, he Bush also claimed the people who took down the towers would hear from all of us except they never really heard from him.  

my theory is he didn't respond or seize the opportunity to capture Bin Laden when it presented itself.  instead he passed it off to Pakistani's who IMO had no interest in capturing him but took the money.  also Bush was in bed with the Bin Laden family in the oil business they were partners.  doing his partners a solid by letting jr. get away??
