MEDIA WINNER: Jon Stewart & Sean Hannity
Yes, you read that pairing correctly. Seldom do Sean Hannity and Jon Stewart find themselves on the same side of an issue. But on the subject of veterans, the Fox News host and famed comic do apparently share some common ground. On Wednesday, Stewart joined members of the House Veterans Affairs Committee to support legislation taking care of American veterans suffering serious medical problems after toxic burn pit exposure.
The former host of The Daily Show did not hold back. “Defense contractors can’t view the U.S. Congress as Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, while veterans are back there like Oliver with a bowl of gruel asking, ‘Please, sir, may I have some more? It’s bullsh*t and it’s gotta stop," he said. Later last night, Fox host Hannity praised, agreed with, and echoed Stewart's remarks. In fact, he went so far as to put the Republican party on notice. "He’s right on this. It’s total bullsh*t. Help our vets. Republicans need to own this," said Hannity. You don't have to agree with a person's politics or even who they are to join them in calling bullsh*t on something that is, in fact, total bullsh*t. Good for them. |
