Play of the Day -- The Daily Show takes on the STOCK Act
Jon Stewart mocks "honest grafts" happening in Congress.
Jon Stewart skewered members of Congress allegedly trading stock based on non-public information they learn on the job.
On proposed legislation that would make Congress obey the same insider-trading laws as everyone else? "I believe that was in the No Sh*t, Sherlock Act," Stewart joked.
On "honest grafts" that members engage in: "It's our system of checks and balances," he said. "They deposit checks; it increases their balances."
