Stewart
Rally no laughing matter
by Anne the Party Pooper
I don’t know about you, but my
heart sank when I read about Jon Stewart’s Million Moderate March,
planned for the Mall next weekend. My heart sank further when I learned
that liberal groups, lacking any
better ideas, have decided to take this endeavor seriously. It’s bad
enough that the only way to drum up
enthusiasm for a "Rally to Restore Sanity" is to make it into a
television comedian’s joke. But it’s far worse
that the "moderates" in attendance will have been bused in by
Arianna Huffington and organized by People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
<piles and piles of
off-topic complaints>
Which is why this Jon Stewart rally
is such a gloomy development. I'm sure his Million Moderate March,
if it happens,
will be amusing, and I wouldn't want to spoil the fun by calling it
"tragic." But if that's the
best the center can do, then "blackly humorous" wouldn't be that far
off.
Lady, you may have set a new record for nonsensical horseshit.
You used a lot of words but you didn't say anything.
A talented comedian holds a rally to make the crying Nazi
look stupid and your heart sinks?
What should make your heart sink is Jon Stewart (and the blogs) is all
we've got.
Today's Democrats are too inept to slice bread and
they're scared little nancyboys, to boot.
Thank Koresh that Jon Stewart takes his job more seriously than
Democrats in congress.
...and what did you mean "If it happens?"
I'm a gambling man and I say it's going to happen.
