Jon Stewart last night took on Republicans’ blocking of all legislation until the Bush-era tax cuts compromise is passed, focusing on the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell debate, the DREAM act and the 9/11 responders bill.
“I get the other two, but since when does the Republican party make 9/11 first responders stand over in the corner with the gays and Mexicans?” Stewart said.

Republicans, Stewart pointed out, like to invoke memories of 9/11 to gain political points. So Stewart called for a ban on Republicans using 9/11 imagery to win elections until they grant health benefits to first responders.
“You know what, Republicans, you use it so much, if you don’t owe the 9/11 responders health care, at least you owe them royalties.”
