The Daily Show's tribute to Republican senators who find comfort and advantage in invoking the heroes of 9/11 but refuse to give them health care.

EDIT: As Media Matters points out though none of the networks bothered to mention this:

... none of the evening news telecasts on ABC, CBS or NBC covered the news about the 9/11 first responders bill. And the rest of the mainstream media didn’t show much interest either. In the 48 hours following the vote, according to TVeyes.com, the phrase “first responder” was mentioned 10 times on CNN, nine on MSNBC and just one time on Fox News.
