Print This Email This Comedy Central's Lewis Black looks at Congress members' attempts to use YouTube to increase their poll numbers. Lewis notes a comment posted on a video by Republican House Minority Whip Eric Cantor that suggests he works for the "asshole store."



"Congress is facing record low approval ratings, so, naturally, they've started doing what other unpopular people do," Black said on Wednesday's Daily Show. "Great! After all, it worked wonders for the hamster on a piano. Why wouldn't it work for Congress? All right, YouTubers, turn off that Christian Bale rant, and get ready to watch Congress rock your world."



Black mocked a comment left on Republican House Whip Eric Cantor's YouTube video which is entitled "We want to hear from you."



"Don't waste this opportunity, America!" Black said. "Participate in a national discussion that actually includes the comment, 'Eric Cantor reminds me of the Manager of the asshole store.'"



Black added, "Wow! At least they think Eric Cantor is management material. And now, with a little hard work, he could own that asshole store."



A newer comment left on YouTube after Black's rant was broadcast tells Cantor, "AHAHAHAH YOU ARE MY HERO! Lewis Black approves!"
