Jon Stewart didn’t really know what to say last night about Republicans who complain about the deficit but advocate for renewing the Bush tax cuts. So he turned to House Minority Leader “and retired Syracuse mascot” John Boehner (R-OH) for a solution to the country’s economic woes. Boehner has said that “the only way we’re going to get our economy going again and solve our budget problems is to get the economy moving.”
“The only way to get our economy going, is to get it moving?” Stewart asked. “That is either the most profound or most retarded statement I’ve ever heard. You know what, actually it’s the most profoundly retarded statement I’ve ever heard.”
He continued: “That is the kind of statement that you think will be followed by the phrase ‘in bed.'”
Stewart, not one to pass up an opportunity to make fun of Boehner’s tan, added: “Either he’s getting ready to play an Indian in a 1950s Western, or John Boehner is not human but actually made entirely of cured meats.”
