What Jon Stewart Missed In Skewering Scary Democratic Fundraising

A recent string of desperate-sounding Democratic fundraising emails caught the attention of Jon Stewart on Monday night, and he did his usual best with mocking frantic pleas that said things like “Kiss any hope goodbye” and “We’re done. Go Home. Give up.”

It’s the latest trend in online buck-raking, but Stewart left out the part where House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — the author of some of those emails — explains how she sees her party’s chances when she’s talking to reporters, instead of online donors. (Hint: It isn’ t the same.)

Watch the Pelosi and Stewart mashup above. Stewart’s entire skit is here.
