Stewart Likens Congress to Herpes’ Disapproval-to-Occurence Ratio

STEWART: “All right, Congress took an extra day of vacation. Fine. But once Tuesday rolled around, bam! Crack of dawn, nation’s business, gavel it in.”
BALART [video]: “Many lawmakers have until noon to make it to the hill. That’s when the 114th Congress will be sworn in. “
STEWART: “Are you bleep serious? Noon! You had to get there at noon. You know what? Normally that would make me mad but since Congress probably isn’t going to be doing anything anyway, all right, why not get a late start? Hell, why not just serve them legislation in bed for god’s sake. No wonder you folks have a 14% approval rating. And apparently a roughly 95% incumbency rate. You know, 14% disapproval to 95% incumbency, it’s the same disapproval-to-occurrence ratio currently enjoyed by the herpes virus. Herpes— it’s like Congress on your dick.”
