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.

My immediate thought.
Don't look for edgy Jon Stewart to examine that angle, though.

Cheating ex first ladies and lying perjuring ex secretaries of state don’t go to prison. They go on to become presidential candidates.

Because the bankers employ thousands of lawyers to make sure everything they do is legal in form, although not perhaps in substance?
To: Wolfie
stupid question. it's because there is a difference between pedophilia and everything else.
