Jon Stewart was perplexed by the virality of Hillary Clinton's "boring" first campaign video, "Getting Started," which he described as a "State Farm commercial gone viral." But on Monday's "Daily Show," Stewart conceded that it certainly didn't warrant witheringly scornful, and occasionally "dystopian," take-downs from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) -- as well as National Rifle Association executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre.
Stewart estimated that the GOP has probably been anticipating this announcement "since, like, 1978" which is why Ted Cruz's shoddy take-down ad "We're Ready For Hillary" seemed surprising even for Ted Cruz.
“Are you f*cking kidding me?” Stewart asked. “Rand Paul’s got Saatchi and Saatchi on the case. Priebus is manufacturing premiums, and you’re banging out a quick Vine on what looks like the set of a 1970s porno shoot?”
Confirming suspicion that Cruz "chops up pandas," Stewart had the production crew zoom out on Cruz's close-crop to reveal that he was, in fact, filming his ad from a "panda-chopping dungeon." Investigative journalism at its finest.
