Jon Stewart let the House Republicans have it for trying to pretend they aren't the ones who wanted to shut down the government, despite the fact that they've been bragging openly about wanting to do just that for some time now.
Jon Stewart calls out GOP ‘Self-righteous Orwellian zebra queefs’ for passing the buck on shutdown:
