First, there was a story about how political campaigns post B-roll footage for the benefit of independent groups who might want to run ads for their candidate, but aren't legally allowed to coordinate with the campaign.

How Candidates Share Without Coordinating With Outside Groups

And then Mitch McConnell's website posted just such an example. And then the Daily Show had some fun putting their own soundtrack on the ad.

The result? Instant internet meme. You can search #McConnelling on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

Thus far, it appears that Republicans haven’t adopted a similar strategy.

Looks like that is no longer the case.

OK, soooo ... yeah, it's just not funny. Jon Stewart continues to not be funny.
