Jon Stewart: Cheating teachers go to jail. Cheating Wall Streeters dont. Whats up with that?
This is one of those videos that make you want to laugh and cry at the same time. I you didnt watch it, take a few minutes, and if you did see it, watch it again and see what you missed amid the layers of deep analysis for which The Daily Show is known.
Jon Stewart on Wednesday night made the inevitable comparison between the former teachers and administrators in Atlanta who were sentenced for cheating on standardized tests a few for as much as seven years with Wall Street denizens who in 2008 connived in a way that nearly brought down the countrys financial system. Only one was sentenced to 12 months in jail.

The important thing is we all agree...people are up to such bullshit that we should just let them run wild...cuz, ya know, “Everybody does it”.
So does the GOP.
True enough.
What about cheating politicians? The Clintons have been taking bribes for years and until recently, without so much as a whisper from the LSM.

because the wall streeters can buy THE GOVERNMENT
yes, that some government that you love so much and want to give more control to, Jon.
They aren’t talking pedophile teachers, they are talking the Atlanta test cheating scandal. Try to keep up.
Maybe because the teachers were prosecuted under state law but the banksters would need to be prosecuted under federal law and Stewart’s bff won’t allow it to happen?
Great point! Wait, what?
Hey Jon, ya gotta start somewhere...
Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the Government have formed a doomsday machine of ever higher debt, Federal Reserve printed fiat currency, which must support progressive government's social-engineering schemes, all mediated by Wall Street.
Conservative social values and ideals of limited government will steadily decline as long as this doomsday machine continues to run as is.
How about the Libtard Voter’s that cheat by Voting more than once
Real Jews fight and die for their country.
Fake Jews run away, change their names and support the blood enemies of their people.
What's up with THAT?
And certainly the "somewhere" that won't lead to uncomfortable moments at the country club is the place to start.
Yes, Jon Stewart is the first Jewish entertainer ever to change his name.
Can you imagine Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson or Loren Greene worshipping Obama and exulting in his death pact with the mullahs of Iran?
My point that "Stewart" is a gutless, self-loathing, big-mouth hypocrite.
You want to send him fan letters, that's fine by me.
Then what was the point of mentioning the name change?
What was your point in not mentioning his support of the blood enemies of the Jews?
Are you just so enamored of your little Jonny that you skip over the criticism that counts?
Changing one’s name because of bigotry against Jews is one thing.
Changing one’s name in order to turn against other Jews is something else.
