Jon Stewart Compares Sequester to Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation: “Everyone thinks they can pull it off until they can’t.”
"Now it's been three days and the mail is starting to pile up outside of Congress, and we're looking at a very awkward memorial."
On last night’s “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart took on Congress’ recent failure to find a deal to avoid the sequester, describing it as a “mutual ball punch” that proves that Congress forgot “just how fucking incompetent they really are.”
But the real kudos goes to whichever Daily Show writer came up with Stewart’s next line of attack:
It was like they tied a belt around their neck, and then looped it around the shower curtain, and hoped the pressure would somehow heighten the sensation of getting something done. But here’s the thing that Congress didn’t realize. Here’s the thing about auto-erotic asphyxiation. Everyone thinks they can pull it off until they can’t.
