Jon Stewart Systematically Dismembers Republican Eric Cantor

I almost entitled this post my usual "Pretty Certain These Are Points That Should Be Made By Someone Other Than a Comedian," but I didn't. Why? Because, comedian or not, Jon Stewart is doing the heavy lifting of not only modern media but anyone aspiring to be a future journalist.

The biggest joke of all, however, is when Republicans talk about their core principles of shrinking government, cutting spending and earnest fiscal responsibility.  As Jon Stewart so adequately reminds "Young Gun" Rep. Cantor, the only track record the GOP has is one of growing government and out of control spending.  Cantor seems surprised anyone would call his bluff:
STEWART:  "You voted for No Child Left Behind. You voted for Read I.D. You voted for the Medicare bill which was a trillion dollars unfunded. You voted for the Patriot Act. In what way are you a limited government -- in what way do you want to shrink government because your record clearly is not."
