Welcome to

The nation’s most popular fake news cast, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, has spent the last two days in Tallahassee taking government officials to task for efforts to drug test state employees or welfare recipients. As Mike Vasilinda tells us, both Governor Rick Scott and Attorney general Pam Bondi are soon going to be the subject of a nationwide comedy sketch over drug testing efforts.

Rick Scott was in the middle of answering questions about his 66 billion dollar budget when someone stood up in the back row with an unusual request.

“So, would you be willing, to uh, pee into this cup to prove to Florida taxpayers that you’re not on drugs?” he asked.

Scott seemed un-phased.

“I’ve done it plenty of times,” the Governor replied.

And even appeared to be willing to accept the cup.

“Sure.”

The questioner was no Capitol Press Corps regular, but Daily Show Correspondent Aasif Mandvi. The segment has yet to air, but this was not the first time the fake news program has poked at Scott.

The program poked fun at Scott’s attempts to test both state employees and welfare recipients.

Legal actions have put both drug testing schemes on hold.

“How do we know its you urine? How do we know its not just apple juice?” Mandvi asked.

The crew also confronted Attorney General Pam Bondi…who played along and gave them a fake sample.

“It’s apple juice,” she said.

The crew also confronted Attorney Pam Bondi, suggesting she had given them a bogus sample.

Scott says he didn’t know the questions were coming

“You know, what doesn’t make sense to me is that people aren’t worried about these poor children. that’s where the money is supposed to go,” Scott said. “Its not supposed to go to a parent that’s using drugs.”

An estimated two and a half million people watch the fake news show each night.

The Crew did convince several state lawmakers to give them urine samples, presumably not on camera, though.
