by Josh Feldman | 11:28 pm, October 8th, 2013
Jon Stewart called out Republicans on Tuesday for trying to blame the shutdown on Democrats, saying this was their fault all along and they should at least own it instead of trying to brush aside all the blame.
Stewart mockingly said, The party of personal responsibility aint taking none.
He brought up John Sniffles McGillicuddy Boehner admitting to George Stephanopoulos that they had a deal for a clean continuing resolution, but the GOP decided against it. That set Stewart off, asking Did you fucking hear that?
He continued, They had a deal, but Obamacare! Stewart offered some advice for the Republicans on the shutdown.
Own it! Dont fart and point at the dog!

"Don’t fart and point at the dog!" is a meme that's going to hurt the GOP's efforts

I am surprised this is not getting more recognition.

to pin the blame elsewhere. It's funny and captures what's going on in a way that's easy to grasp.

It is preposterous this is really happening. They are TRYING to wreck our economy. They are traitors.

Jon Stewart did a great job of destroying a GOP talking point. Even Morning Joe had trouble denying the effectiveness of this segment
