Anyone see Aasif Mandvi reporting on Missouri gun owner discrimination?

[usregimechange]

He interviewed a MO lawmaker who wrote and a bill preventing discrimination that doesn't exist. She said it was preventative. He interviewed MO's only gay representative and tried to get the same legislator to support it, to work together with the gay lawmaker to pass law protecting discrimination that does exist. She declined and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on television!

Do we have the video yet?

1. Saw it

You are correct it was very good.

2. I saw it - it was a great piece showing the hypocrisy and lunacy of the right wing.

4. It was amazing

I've eaten sandwiches that were more self-aware than that legislator. Her cluelessness would make her stand out even in the Texas Legislature.

9. ...and yet the bill passed in the Missouri House 115-36. She's not the only clueless one.

Apparently, the solution here is for all LGBT folks around there to own a gun or two or three.

11. In Texas she could be winner of a Bum Steer award.

6. That was so funny it brought tears to my eyes

7. LOL! Just watched it this morning.

WTG, Aasif!

8. Wow. This country is doomed. n/t

10. Clear example of an empty-suit puppet politician.

She is just a convenient fool, a front to vote the way she is told. She does not even remember the bills she votes on. Funny segment but also very revealing.

12. More than revealing, truly alarming!

Her ignorance and obtuseness are shocking.

13. The perfect avatar.

I am thinking that in the early 20th or late 19th centuries that there was a slang term for a puppet politician but I can't recall what it was. Anybody remember?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. And, next, a law protecting the peoples' right to stuff cockroaches up their noses.

Or, guarantee their right to paint their plumbing purple.

15. Did You See The Part Where She Says That Gays Should Go To Court?

And Aasif says, they cannot sue because it's not illegal to discriminate against Gays in MO.

16. I think Mandvi couldn't believe how dense she was at the end

He was dropping the straight-faced "let them say stupid things" Daily Show approach, as he realised she was incapable of seeing any problem with her position. He was really getting into "I'm going to explain this to you like you're a 4 year old" territory.
