Zandar's Thought Of The Day

My thoughts on this:
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) appeared on the Daily Show last night to chat with his old friend and roommate Jon Stewart.

Aside from the friendly ribbing and references to incriminating photographs of each other, Weiner took a shot at his healthcare nemesis Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.)

"My question to you is this: Is [Lieberman] a dick?" Stewart asked.

"Yes, Jon," Weiner jokingly replied.
...is that Weiner wasn't joking.  Neither was Stewart.  That's what makes it funny, of course.  That and the fact that the Hill doesn't get it.  Or maybe they do and they're slyly playing dumb.  Either way, they are referencing Jon Stewart as a viable source of Congressional news, which is a massive problem in and of itself.  Jon Stewart shouldn't be the media's go to guy on Washington interviews.

Good news is it's pissing off some wingers, so mission accomplished!
