The Daily Show Gets It
The Daily Show gets on board with the ROTM agenda. Last night’s hilarious segment on the Alito confirmation featured a hilarious segment (click on Sam’s Club) on the Alito confirmation. Stewart showed the various Senators fawning over Alito and his Italian-American immigrant background, when suddenly the clip cut to the Corleone hearings from Godfather II, where the Senator who’s on the payroll says:
Let me agree with that. Many of my constituents are Italian and have been honored with that certain friendship by my close Italian friends. Up to this point before I have to leave this hearing to join my own committee, let me say, that this hearing on the Mafia is in no way a slur on the Italians by the Senate; nor is it meant to be; nor will I allow it to be. Italian Americans are the hardest working, most law abiding patriotic Americans of our country. It is a shame and a pity that a few rotten apples give them a bad name.
Watch the clip. It’s great. The bit I’m referring to starts at about 4:30.
