Daily Show Pits Newt Against Mitt in the Only Competition That Matters: Mortal Kombat

Tonight's Repiblican Primary in Florida may be game over for Newt, but at least his tussle with Mitt Romney has been an entertaining slugfest. Last night, Jon Stewart drew a comparison to everyone's favorite pillar of gratuitous violence, Mortal Kombat.
