Jon Stewart's Analysis on the Special Election

Pot Luck Dinner
--Who Knows What Will End Up On The Table?

I think the special election held in Massachusetts yesterday was more a referendum on Martha Coakley than anything to do with Barack Obama or national health care reform--despite what Sean Hannity and the rest of the talking knuckle-heads on the national new programs are saying. What else do they have to say? 'We're spending all night covering an election in Massachusetts but it really doesn't mean a whole lot outside of Massachusetts?'..Of course they over blow it. Why? Because there are a dozen news channels that need to soak up enough advertising to pay Wolf Blitzer and the jackass who repeatedly says 'no-spin' on his foolish right-wing opinion show (can not remember his name because he is a pointless, hollow fleck of shit). But I digress.

Martha spent a good amount of money on attack ads. We all know you can get away with this these days--UNLESS YOU ARE INVOLVED IN THE ONLY ELECTION GOING AND THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE GOING FOR YOU IS THE DEMOCRATIC LEGACY OF YOUR STATE AND THE SEAT.
