Video: Daily Show Tackles NYC Mayoral Election

2009_10_bloomrich.jpg Last night, after an 11 minute takedown of Fox News, The Daily Show set its sights on our own mayoral race.

Term limits turnaround? Check.

President Obama's, uh, endorsement of Thompson? Check.

And, yes, they did totally put Mayor Bloomberg next to a graphic of Richie Rich—and Jon Stewart did say they were the same height.

Just four days till the election!

    Hilarious, Jon is the best news source out there.

    sadly enough, and despite $85 million+ in campaign spending from bloomberg alone, this is probably how a ton of new yorkers will find out that there's an election this tuesday.
