Mick Foley Illustrates the Problem with Congress
On last night's Daily Show, to explain Congress's endless cycle of hypocrisy, Wyatt Cenac brought out Mick Foley, who demonstrated that Washington politicians are really no different from pro wrestlers. Now, that might be true to a degree, but I don't know if it's an entirely fair comparison. After all, who would you rather have babysit your kids, Triple H or Joe Lieberman? Also, wrestlers know how to use makeup in moderation.
Mick Foley's last appearance on the show can be found below.
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

Well seeing as in the APF, Jon Sewart and Stephen Colbert are both wrestlers. You could get one of them to babysit.
Nice to see the politics as pro-wrestling meme is getting popularised. I've been writing on that for years now and I'd like to think CCInsider had a hand in forwarding it to Stewart and his staff as the PunditFight blog was featured on the site a few years ago. The meme has definitely been in the ether for a long time. Curious to know who originally came up with it.

I definitely would like to see the Daily Show expand on the politics=pro-wrestling analogy. Maybe posit the question to any visiting politicians.
