The Political Satire of Doc C.

Doc C and I are at the supermarket on the way home, and as we wandering down the canned vegetables aisle Doc turned to me and said:

"Do you want to stock up on tins of beans in case the economy crumbles and the fabric of society splinters? Oooh! M&M's!"

He then zoomed off to grab a large bag of the peanut and chocolate treats.  Do you think that's what happens at script meetings for "The Daily Show, with John Stewart"?  Someone is right in the middle of an amusingly scathing riff about the current political situation, when they get distracted by sugary snacks?
