Jon Stewart on Thursday took on the 2012 Republican presidential candidates’ fundraising numbers, likening the race to a “survival of the funded.”
When it came time to look at former pizza magnate Herman Cain’s numbers, Stewart was impressed with the contender’s recent $2.5 million haul.
“That’s a lot of pepperoni, for the godfather of buffet-style pizza,” Stewart said. “Why is Cain connecting?”
Stewart rolled a clip of Cain denouncing a proposed mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn. “Our Constitution guarantees separation of church and state,” Cain said on Fox News Sunday. “Islam combines church and state. They’re using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their mosque in that community, and the people in the community do not like it. They disagree with it.”
Hmmm…
“First, let’s address what I believe may be pronoun issues,” Stewart said. “You think our First Amendment protects us from their mosque, when in reality the First Amendment protects their mosque from us.
