Stewart Rips Obama's Ambassador Appointments: Hey, Look! Democrats Can Be Corrupt Too!

When Nancy Pelosi was on The Daily Show recently, she told Jon Stewart there is corruption in Washington, but it’s mainly the Republicans’ fault. Well, Stewart used that as a jumping-off point Wednesday night to rip the Democrats a new one for engaging in some corruptive behavior of their own: President Obama rewarding big donors with appointments to ambassadorships.

Appointed ambassadors to Norway, Argentina, and Iceland have, for example, never been to any of the countries they are now expected to deal with. Stewart cried, “Have any of you f*cking people been to EPCOT Center?” They have, however, given lots of money to Obama, so, Stewart mused, it’s almost as if Democrats are actually capable of financial corruption too…

However, the U.S. ambassador to Russia is stepping down, and Stewart said this should be an opportunity for the White House to just pick someone “we aren’t that crazy about that then just sending them away.” Stewart’s nominee: Sean Hannity.
