Last night on the Daily Show host Jon Stewart tore apart senator Thomas Tillis' stance on hand washing. Tillis — a.k.a "senator Dung Hands Von Fecal Fingers" — revealed earlier this week that he's perfectly fine with food service employees — like the barista at your local Starbucks — being able to opt out of having to wash their hands after using the bathroom. This is because he believes in less government regulation. Stewart admires Tillis' commitment to his beliefs adding, "I'd high five him but I don't want to die like a character in the game Oregon Trail."
Tillis believes that as long as restaurants inform customers that employees aren't required to wash their hands, it's fine. Stewart, however, points outs that having to inform customers is a regulation in itself: "That's not getting rid of regulation, that just makes you an inconsistent ideologue with a light fecal dusting in your latte." Delicious.
