Five Card Dud

by JASmius

Jon Stewart monologue of John McCain's gambling addiction while trying to push us in a new war:



Y'know, I've seen Episodes I, II, and III more times than I can remember, and not once do I ever remember Senator/Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine ever using the Force to play Coruscant Hold 'Em.  And what would have been the point, since each hand would have unfolded as he had foreseen it?  Quite unlike Operation "Don't Mock Me," where Darth Queeg can't foresee al Qaeda "rebels" from a Gungan Blackjack dealer.

The Arizona senior senator's guffawing over having lost thousands of virtual dollars while goofing off is so far beyond parody that his phone is being cloned into an online poker army on Kamino as we speak.
