Jon Stewart went on another of his rants about the politics of the Keystone Pipeline.
Although Stewart made cracks about “The dirtiest of dirty oils,” he also spent a little time mocking the handwringing of environmental activists. “This country already has Mario Brother levels of pipey-ness—adding the Keystone into the mix would be like farting into a manure factory.”
And he had a laugh over Sen. Barbara Boxer’s (D-Calif.) doomsday-heavy floor speeches about the pipeline. “Our childrennnnn,” Stewart joked. “They’re so contaminated we should seal them up in a drum and bury them under Nevada! Start with some new kids.”
“It’s a lesson for activists that even in a relatively zero-sum fight, if you can tap into our country’s vast outrage reserves, you can take a fight that should’ve last just one day and miraculously make it last eighteen hundred.”
