Jon Stewart takes on 30 Republicans who voted against the Franken rape amendment October 16, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Monkey @ 2:55 pm

Update: it seems that this vid can only be viewed in the US – sorry UK FP-ers!

Remember this hideous story of the KBR/Haliburton employee whose contract forbade her seeking justice for being gangraped and then locked in a storage container for 24 hours? Al Franken passed a law to deny federal contracts to companies that punish employees who complain of rape of discrimination. Well, as the title of this post suggests, here’s Jon Stewart taking on 30 Republicans who voted against Franken’s amendment.

    Monkey, were you able to view the video? When I tried, I was told I couldn’t view it from the UK.

  2. Monkey Says:

    Ah – no I can’t view it either. Someone sent me the link and I didn’t check before posting.

    Thanks for the links!

  6. Monkey Says:

    The Huffington Post is the source I linked to in the post – you can’t watch it from the UK for some reason.

    Cheers, Roger!
