Bah. I cannot view videos from that site in Canada. What date and section of the daily show is it? I can find it on Comedy Central here...

I keep forgetting that; I have a hard time wrapping my head around the Canada/US Comedy Central disparity.

Hah that's good. I recently read an article about some internal struggle in the Democratic party or among liberals in general between what they called "gentry liberals" and unions. This reminded me of that for some reason.

Ok here it is:

I thought it was pretty interesting.

Amusing, but obviously staged, which is unfortunate because it's probably a pretty accurate representation...

The union is hiring non-union workers to do their picketing for them, and is paying them substandard wages and cutting their hours with no recourse.

Clarified for hypocrisy.

The Union boss was being interviewed between video of picketers being interviewed. While the Union Boss was excoriating Wal-Mart for those practices, his picketers were describing what practices the Union employs. Finally, the Union Boss was asked about employing those same tactics, hence the: "That's the one where I nail you".
