The chorus of Democrats calling for the resignation of apparent gym rat Rep Anthony Weiner gained a big voice yesterday when President Obama chimed in, telling Ann Curry that he "would resign" if it were him—not that Obama's opinion on the resignation status of New York Congressmen has mattered much before (*cough* Charlie Rangel *cough*). Oh, and speaking of the Harlem Representative, Rangel's defense of Weiner made for excellent fodder on The Daily Show last night.
After showing a clip of Rangel going on a long tangent of things that Anthony Weiner didn't do, Stewart pointed out that, after this photo, Rangel might just be the "only member of congress who if they were to say 'I cannot say with certitude if that is my penis,' I would believe him."
The best line of the show, however, was probably Stewart's criticism of his pal's manscaping habits: "Seriously man, Jews. We're Jews. When you look at our pubic hair it should look like Ewoks should be in there."
Meanwhile, over on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert has "had it up to here with Anthony Weiner's penis." And he's not going to take it anymore (or not until tonight at least).
