The Daily Show Gets A Pass

A throw away line worth a second look from WaPo culture critic Hank Stuever’s look at The Daily Show in DC this week:

For added insult, there have been remote-reporter gags from “Daily Show” staff comics that paint the town as a corrupt quagmire. Samantha Bee made fun of the “subway, excuse me, the Metro,” which she said was a word for “subway’s gay cousin.” (G-word jokes? After all these weeks of “It Gets Better” viral videos against bullying and anti-gay slurs?)

(Emphasis mine.) Good point.
