Liberal Media Elite Unfairly Tars…Joe Biden!
Just watching the Daily Show here, and, in one of those occasional swings at Democrats he takes to maintain a patina of partisan fairness, Jon Stewart just criticized Joe Biden for referring to his Beretta shotgun.
To paraphrase: Gotcha! said Stewart. Everyone knows that a Beretta is handgun, dope! That would demonstrate the kind of out-of-touch east-coast liberal aloofness you might remember from, say, that time John Kerry ordered swiss cheese on his Philly cheesesteak. (Still, the Biden comments were bizarre.)
Uh, Jon? Beretta makes shotguns. Lots of 'em. Really nice ones, too. Semiautos, side-by-sides, over-unders. You name it. (Riggs is not the only fellow on staff here who knows a thing or two about firearms.)
Hey, you don't even gotta be a gun guy to know this: Perhaps you saw that Sopranos episode where Tony got his father-in-law a Beretta shotgun only to have a snooty relative pooh-pooh the purchase? Classic!

Worrying too much about the factual basis of silly jokes is a leading indicator of being a jerk, but I caught that one too and it made me chuckle.
P.S. Try finding something that *doesn't* taste great with swiss cheese!

The funniest joke here is that you actually think the Daily Show is responsible for reporting unbiased/bipartisan fairness...get a clue d-bag.

I looked at Beretta's website and the starting price for their lowest priced shotgun was around $4,500.
Average Joe? I think not. I would like to own a gun but I don't feel like blowing a $100 for a weapon.
I'm so tired of these politicians trying to act like normal people. They are all high' both parties, on political power.
