Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Daydreamin'

Jon: Flush Party. I love that name. Where’d you come up with it?
Dave: Was online with Reddit, a site of interesting links & commentary. Somebody said we need to reform Congress. I responded, instead, we need to flush it. Bang, bang: thumbs up and the name was born.
Jon: Okay, I make you king for a day. What’re you gonna do?
Dave: As Doctor Franklin said, overcoming bad customs is more than the work of a day.
Jon: How long would it take?
Dave: Ten to Twenty years.
Jon: You mean by 2030 we might not have Democrat vs. Republican in a chamber owned by bankers?
Dave: Guaranteed - if a couple things happen.
Jon: Like?
Dave: One, your virus has to spread. The king fell in 1776 because Tom Paine was Jon Stewart. He had the folks on the street falling down laughing at, not just Mad King George, but at the very idea of a spoiled, isolated-from-reality child growing up to dominate you.
Second, we have to give voters a chance – a choice against our Deadly Duo.
Jon: “Deadly Duo?” I like that already without knowing what it is! Am I a jerk or something?
Dave: No, intuitively we all know our system sucks. We’re trained to respect the system while cursing individuals or parties.
Jon: What are the Deadly Duo?
Dave: (1) A bottom feeder has the advantage over a Benjamin Franklin. (Running for office.) (2) Party spirit is the American national insanity. It can, as our first president warned, destroy a nation.
Jon: And what will the Flush Party do for this Deadly Duo?
Dave: Two things. We’ll run a slate of candidates who haven’t spent a dime to run, who haven’t made any promises that you’ll keep your job, who haven’t had to join a tired party. Second, we’ll hold a mock constitutional convention where the delegates aren’t selected by the controlling interests. No oil company, Rove or president will have any say whatsoever.
Jon: Where do I join?
Dave: Just don the tee.
(Both stand up & rip off their jackets revealing the Flush Party tee.)
Audience cheers and throws hats. (Hats? Who knew?)
