Even the chair of the Federal Election Commission Ann Ravel admits it: The government agency isn't really doing its job. "The FEC, which is supposed to be enforcing campaign finance laws so people have trust in the system, isn't," Ravel said in an interview with The Daily Show that aired Thursday night. "I would say that it is enormously dysfunctional at the FEC."

Just how effective is the FEC though, The Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper wanted to know. "Would you say the FEC is more or less useless than men's nipples?" Klepper asked Ravel. Her assessment: "I would say that the FEC and men's nipples are probably comparable. There are things that are done that have some value, just like men's nipples."
