Last week it was reported that a clip from Ben Affleck’s bank robbery movie The Town was shown in a meeting of House Republicans as a way to rally them in support of John Boehner’s debt ceiling plan. Given the petty, nasty divisiveness that now passes for our political system, the tactic should come as no surprise, nor should it come as a surprise that the move proved amusing fodder for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and probably other comedians and late night hosts whose shows I didn’t see. The following clips offer The Daily Show‘s take, featuring The Town excerpt in question as well as particularly amusing commentary on the reaction of Democrat Chuck Schumer, as well as Real Time with Bill Maher‘s full reel of Republican motivational clips (a little violent in the beginning, be warned).
