Jon Stewart at the Daily Show skewers Senate Republicans, especially Lindsey Graham and John McCain for holding up the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense over petty partisan politics. He points to their hypocrisy in having been uninterested in an investigation of the Iraq War fiasco but their odd conspiracy theories on the Benghazi consulate attack.
