"What if a bear walks into the bar and you are unarmed and it eats you?"
The Daily Show last night had a HILARIOUS piece by Ed Helms. Repeat at 7PM Eastern tonight, a must see.

Some idiot Rpublican in Arizona wants to do away with the law making it illegal to take a gun into a bar. The Democrat who was on, he opposes it, was a Marine and is a gun owner-he thinks it is a really bad idea. Helms was acting like he agreed with the Republican (a former golf pro who later compared the Rules of Golf to the Constitution) and he asked the Dem the above question.

God was that hilarious.

Helms "testing" it out by firing a handgun then going out to his car in the parking lot and drinking Wild Turkey (the Kickin' Chicken as we call it) and then he bust back in the firing range with a shotgun. Later,after drinking some more, he goes down range and starts hugging the silhouette target.

Helms and the biker bar owner (HE thinks the proposal is stupid too) was likewise hilarious.

One of the best TDS segments I have ever seen.

1. Consistently brilliant.
The Daily Show's mixture of very edgy satire and co-option of wrong wing guests make it insidiously effective.

3. Except the Constitution says...
In the Second amendment, it says there is a right to arm bears!

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right...:P

8. I'm sure that's what they meant
but TJ had drunk a bit too much Madeira and mixed the words up a bit.

6. "taking a gun into a bar is bad
if you're a pussy"

I thought the biker bar owner was going to kill him.

7. Yeah I wonder if he smoothed things out later
He said something about how they had a pleasant discussion but you know he really meant the guy almost ripped his head off.

10. there was an edit in there
between the original pussy comment and the comparison of a gun and being hit with a beer bottle but the biker dude still looked pretty pissed.

Talk about journalistic integrity; anything for the story!
heh heh heh

12. Another proud moment for us Arizonans.
/sarcasm off

I live in a state where they want to let you carry guns into bars, won't let you smoke in bars, and want to ban grocery stores and convenience stores from carrying cold beer.

:shrug:

Go figure!

14. Actualy it is just PROPOSED legislation
I thinkthey tried to push for something like that (the gun law) in Va. and it got *cough* shotdown. Yes even here in old Virginnie.

The no beer in convenience stores sounds like the liquor laws in Pa. which make NO SENSE.

16. That segment is why
Ed Helms is slowly creeping up on Stephen Colbert as my favorite Daily Show correspondent.

He was simply brilliant.

"Did he just compare the United States Constitution to a booklet of golf rules?!?"

LOL!!
