On Tuesday, Jon Stewart returned to his particular terminology for Senate Democrats and Republicans, with “dumbassery” in one corner and “fuckery” in the other.
Stewart picked up where he left off last week: The GOP had refused to confirm attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch until Democrats stopped blocking a sex-trafficking bill into which the GOP had injected anti-abortion language.
“The GOP boosted its fuckery score” in refusing to confirm Lynch, Stewart said, but he actually sounded optimistic about some legislative compromise from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
Cornyn propsed that the anti-sex trafficking bill could be passed with the language the GOP wanted, while making sure the bill stuck to federal anti-abortion rules that Democrats have accepted for decades.
“Is it everything Democrats want? No. But it’s the best they’re gonna get, because they lost the election in the midterms, and they’re playing second fiddle in the Senate now,” he said.
“It’s being player two in a game of Super Mario Bros. You get to play, but you’re gonna have to play as Luigi,” Stewart said. “I know it sucks to be Luigi!”
Stewart was disappointed to find that Democrats opted not to join Congress as player two.
