GOP Govs Across Nation Continue Attack on Sanity

From last Thursday’s The Daily Show, the new Republican governors’ attacks on common sense throughout the nationĀ are made clear. From creating a waiting period before one can have an abortion to the continued attacks on public workers – the basic rights we have achieved in America are under attack, and somehow, Jon Stewart keeps it funny.
