When Sen. Bill Frist calls it “workable” to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, Stewart replies, “It’s absolutely workable! Just think about Elian Gonzalez. How easy that was!” (video)


Crooks and Liars:

Jon Stewart goes through talking head TV and finds some gems over the immigration debate. Bill Frist telling us that deporting 11 million people is “workable” was priceless in itself, but Lou Dobbs takes the cake.

I think in the heat of the battle some of the talking heads say the most ridiculous things to make themselves right.

Stewart: Lou, do you understand that N.Y. is a parade-based economy?
