Jon Stewart took Congress and President Obama to task tonight in a blistering segment on insider trading and how Congress quietly passed a partial repeal of the STOCK Act, a law signed by Obama that would limit the ability of members of Congress to trade based on their insider knowledge, which is illegal for the general public to do. Stewart summed up the mess with the now-infamous words of A.J. Clemente: “f*cking shit!”

He also showed a graphic saying the STOCK Act could have also been called the Fiscal Use of Congressional Knowledge Is Expressly Restricted Act, or FUCKER, just to hammer home the point. Stewart described the STOCK Act as trying to limit the access lawmakers and their well-connected investors have to some kind of “cash-grab machine.”

- The upside is that the sooner they become rich the sooner they'll leave Congress since they won't need it anymore.....

5. It should be illegal for congress critters OR THEIR AIDS to own stock....

Same goes for officers in the Pentagon.

Show me in the Constitution where there is a RIGHT to own stock.

6. So should we be permitted to call our reps...

...and ask for the latest "hot tip?" Especially after a close-door meeting?

Seems fair...
