That's quite the bait to dangle in front of congress for free publicity, Linden Lab PR team! Full clip from the Daily Show after the jump.

The hed has a typo. Jon Stewart - no H in there, buddy.
Thanks, fixed.
I virtually don't give a crap.
Why can't congress do something useful, like repeal the law of gravity?
Maybe that's why they are moving to SL.
Just about the only thing SL had going for it was the appearance of independence. So much for sweet illusion.
Possibly the most hilarious daily show clip yet.
Also....... "america...fuck yea!"
i don't get stewart
i have never laughed
You thought Congress could not top the waste of time grilling Roger Clemens. When will you stop underestimating the government?
