Quigley chides Jon Stewart on pizza joke

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) entered the pizza fray Friday, joking that he knows where Jon Stewart can “shove your awful eats.”

{mosads}The Illinois congressman sent out a string of tweets reacting to a segment on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” on Wednesday in which the host questioned whether Chicago-style pizza can actually qualify as pizza.

Quigley took sides with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who sent “The Daily Show” a couple Chicago-style pizzas with anchovies on Thursday, or as he called them: “Deep dish with dead fish.”

.@ChicagosMayor taught me a lot so I could tell you where to shove your awful eats @TheDailyShow but I’ll refrain http://t.co/6nBEs8Urze

Quigley was quick to point out his wife his a huge fan of the show.

Your hot dogs aren’t even fit for human consumption! PS My wife is a huge @TheDailyShow fan. She’d love an autographed photo…(3/3)
