Colbert unleashed a blistering expose of Laura Ingraham’s implicit racism in her simple-mined political satire on Tuesday. The next day, Stewart raises the ante with a new segment called “I Give Up” in which he decries both Dems and the GOP for turning their back on 9/11 First Responders’ health problems. One politician offers a glimmer of hope for Stewart: former roommate and summer share Anthony Weiner, who serves as a proxy for The Daily Show host’s outrage at the end of the second clip. Kinda makes up for last week’s silly season of dramatic readings of Bravo transcripts and discussions of astronaut poop.
