Jon Stewart Praises Budget Deal: Hallelujah! A Break From All the 'Congressional F*ckery!'

[WhoIsNumberNone]

December 11, 2013 - It's been so long since Congress actually compromised on something, Jon Stewart seemed almost giddy Wednesday night that there's a budget deal that could very well pass. Stewart even played "Hallelujah" in celebration, though quite frankly, absolutely no one on either side is really happy about this. Stewart fully expected to do another cursory look at "today's congressional fuckery" but was legitimately surprised at the "witchcraft" that must have led to this deal. He mocked all the piling on the deal prior to reading what was actually in it, and John Oliver stridently declares the deal is so good, it "ranks up there with the Civil Rights Act."

But let's face it, this isn't a sexy story, so in the second segment of the show, Jason Jones tried to make it more like Die Hard, but buzzkills like NBC's Chuck Todd ruined all the fun for him.
