If Fox right-wing talk show dude Glenn Beck could hold a rally featuring Sarah Palin on the mall, why can't Comedy Central's comedy entertainers Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert do the same? They've booked the National Mall for a rally in Washington just before the November elections.
Jon Stewart announced last night on The Daily Show, a Rally to Restore Sanity on Oct. 30. Mr. Stewart said, his rally is for "people too busy with their normal lives to go to other political rallies. We're looking for people who think shouting is annoying ... who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard," Stewart said. "Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement."
Jon Stewart's comedy pal Steven Colbert is planning to join with a so-called counter rally. Mr Stewart and Mr Colbert have filed a single application for a permit to host 25,000 people on the Washington Monument grounds. I think 25, 000 may be a low figure. Mr. Stewart will taping his show in DC that week More info on the Rally to Restore can be found at on Mr. Stewart's web site. Check here.
