Jon Stewart Revels In GOP Bondage Club Scandal (VIDEO)


First Posted: 05/31/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:00 PM ET

The majority of the news stories covered by Jon Stewart are of a serious tone. So while we get to reap the benefits of his satirical breakdown, he's got to deal with the weighty stuff. But shouldn't he get to have some fun, too?

Last night he got his opportunity. Upon hearing the RNC spent nearly $2000 at a lesbian bondage-themed strip club, "The Daily Show" ran with it. A Muppet reenactment, a correspondent totem pole, and Groucho glasses were all included. It was fantastic. Did we mention MUPPET REENACTMENT!??

This story was made for Jon Stewart. I'm sure wherever Jim Henson is, he's getting a big laugh from this segment.

ROFLMAO! I think I just added another year or two to my life span with that belly-laugh :) Proving once again, there is an upside to the interminable weeks when the Daily Show is off the air: they absolutely KILL when they come back!

Of course, we gotta love the material handed to them by the RNC's "voyeurous" expeditions :)

as soon as I heard the name of that the name of the group was "the young eagles club"
I thought of Ashcroft singing "As the eagles soar" Wasn't he the guy that insisted that the statues of nude women in the capital be covered in drapes?

Since when are we surprised that the GOP is into bondage? It's the core of the party (and I do mean PAR-TAY!
Bondage, defined:
1. slavery: the condition of being enslaved or forced into serfdom
2. physical restraint during sex: the practice of being tied up or restrained physically during sex acts
3. restriction: the condition of being controlled by something that limits freedom

Synonyms: slavery, captivity, oppression, servitude, suppression, repression

Antonyms: freedom

But one thing these GOP head honchos can agree on, it was all fake - simulated activity. The bondage - the sex - the patriotic/family values. The GOP is amazing!

ROTFLMA.

I want Steele to remain Chairman of the RNC until the end of time. The saying is, "Laugh a lot and live long." With Steele at the RNC I could live to be 120 years old.

This whole imbroglio has had a silver lining: it gave material to this "Daily Show" episode.

$2000 is a lot to spend on beer.

Wasn't the beer. There's a club in town that brings you two menus - one for your food and drink, and one for 'services'. You get to pick the sex, amount of clothing removed, time at your table, and what they will do while they are there.

Hey baby- I'm from the party that fights all day every day to deny you health care, birth control, sexual freedom, choice, and a reasonable shot at a decent future. Wanna F?

Don't worry - they'll clean up the c** stains twice a week!

"Michael Steele wasn't there.'

I wonder how much they had to pay that Club to go along with that one.

Gotta love Jon Stewart!

It would be capricious of the rupaulblicans to censure Steele after letting so many of their slimy members slide when their particular kinky personality facets were revealed. But in the meantime we are going to have big fun with this. Gotta love those muppetts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqM7zrgCLI&feature=related
