Daily Show Calls Paulson "Baron Von Moneypants" (VIDEO)

Desperate times call for ridiculous Photoshopping of extremely important people, or so goes the digital age's comedy mantra. For such Photoshopping, we turn to the Daily Show.

In addition to calling Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson "Baron Von Moneypants," the Daily Show's Jon Stewart observed, "For anybody out there who's been living in a cave: congratulations, you've apparently made the soundest real estate investment possible."

Palin! McCain is in a VERY HARD SPOT.

Repubs are starting to say on TV that she must GO!

BUT McCain's judgement is already in question in so many ways that I doubt he can AFFORD to DUMP HER.

DUMPING HER added to his OVERALL BAD JUDGEMENTS TO DATE WOULD SINK HIM!

Besides would the AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND FOR "WALL STEET" "GHOUL"IANI and what would the "RIGHT" do with Deputy DAWG? DESERT SHIP AND NOT VOTE!

Mr. TAX Romney would be nice since he and McCain are so CLOSE!

His only hope is the debate does not focus on Foreign Affairs or Domestic Affairs.

Maybe Fishing, Hunting, and OIL would work for her.

Can you get Stiglitz on your show???? I will give you my virginity (where did i put that) if you do... I would much rather give my virginity to you and not HANK...

Don't forget Bernanke, Dodd or Frank. All of them saw this coming for years but did nothing about it.

This is hilarious. I would actually trust Stewart/Colbert to run the country better than nearly everyone in DC.

Except maybe Ron Paul: http://tinyurl.com/4jbkb8

The laughter is balm on my soul, what with all the posturing and lying from "the experts" who want to take our money with no questions asked. Sorry, Bub, but my Congressman and Senators better be asking questions and keeping the key to the safe right close, because if not, there goes another group of politicians down the tubes with George and Dick.

Jon Stewart is at his best and hits the nail right on the head!
The Bush Administration is beyond a joke,they are a satanic cult.

W's finance guru, Paulson, really gurued up, big time. Secretary of the Treasury Paulson is finding out how nasty paybscks are, courtesy of China & the congress.

I can't believe the American people elected that idiot. Compare him to Clinton's interview on CNBC. He bought his MBA because it's obvious he didn't earn it.

Oh ... I forgot the "Activist Judges" on the Supreme Court.
