Happy Hour Vid: Blame the Oil Spill on Goldman Sachs

Heather Horn May 4, 2010
Even for non Daily-Show fans, this one is one for the ages--an oil spill special in which Jon Stewart and his team unleash a torrent of what they do best: spot-on media criticism. Highlights include Stewart mocking the media's use of seven different states and territories to describe the size of the slick, the setting of oil spill details to West Side Story tunes, and the suggestion that Goldman Sachs might be responsible for the spill--why not?
