Video: "The Daily Show" Recaps Perry's Indictment

In about five minutes, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on cable's Comedy Network sums up the events that led to Gov. Rick Perry's Aug. 15 indictment on felony charges related to his threat to veto funds for the state's public integrity unit, his booking rally, "Olan Mills quality mugshot," and trip to the key early voting state of New Hampshire ahead of his presumed 2016 run for president.
