When a bill came up for vote that would have expanded health care and education for veterans, we knew two things would happen next. First, Republicans would block the bill, because that's kind of their thing. Then, Jon Stewart would deliver a passionate monologue explaining just how disgraceful this is.

Stewart did just that on "The Daily Show" last night, correctly attacking senate Republicans for their shaky argument for voting against the bill -- which was somehow made even worse when an unrelated Iran sanctions amendment was attached to it. Of course, at least one senator argued that it was the only way the bill would get noticed.

"How do you justify attaching the Iran sanctions bill to the veterans' benefits bill?" Stewart responded. "That's right, you're the victim here. You've been denied something that you need by an impersonal government bureaucracy. How can anyone know the anguish that you must feel?"
