Stewart Slams System that Lets Corporations Get Away with Crime

STEWART: "But before we go into freedom and democracy, obviously there's another question plaguing this country. Corporations: Are they people?"
[video clip]
ROMNEY: "Corporations are people, my friend."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Thank you for that -- you dapper stranger. [laughter] If only there was some way to prove that corporations were not people. Show their inability to love. To show that they lack awareness of their own mortality. To see what they do when you walk in on them masturbating. [ laughter ] Are they embarrassed? or like our nonhuman ape cousins do they just keep plugging away? [laughter] while eerily maintaining eye contact."
