Well, if they have the rally, I hope they invite Ed Schultz to be a co-sponser.

Poor guy had a near meltdown after Beck's success, and would really, really love to have more than 12 people show up for his. If he headlines with Colbert, he may be able to avoid a total breakdown!

I agree with you on this, Ed Schultz will probably have a poor turnout.

I've never watched Stewart's show, and I've only seen Colbert's show once, but I thought his wordplay was brilliant. I live 9 miles from DC----I'll probably go. I feel sorry for anyone who considers hucksters and con artists like Beck to be leaders. He's even called himself a rodeo clown.

Well, until we are no longer able to voice preferences in this country, clowns too have the right to choose one side or the other.

It's 10/30/10, I think only a mod can change the title.

Truthiness is satire.

It would be nice if someone held a rally restoring truth but nobody capable of attracting a crowd is qualified to do that.

Truthiness is as much a satire as "restoring honor" was stupidity. If not for the latter, the former wouldn't be necessary.

That said, Restoring Truthiness will have elements of realities, of course presented in a funny way.
