The blogs have been running mostly on auto-pilot the past week or so--the magic of pre-scheduling posts mean that I can be away and still post snarky elections comments and get the Nine Days of the Ninja started!--but this post at Who Wants Taters? reminded me that I wanted to put up this video:
I agree with every sentiment that Stewart expresses in his closing remarks to his "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear." However, I question the sincerity of his overall effort. I didn't have time to watch the entire broadcast, but I can't help but wonder where the mockery of left-wing nutburgers were. We had Colbert doing his usual satire of right-wingers, but where was the same skewering of the left-wing freaks, like Code Pink and several of the regular columnists at the Huffington Post. (Of course, maybe Stewart was unable to take shots as them, since they were kicking in contributions to make the rally happen.)It's possible that the lefties had spears lobbed at them when I wasn't looking. Like I missed most of this bit in the next clip, a "debate" between Stewart and Colbert.
(And I guess in this skit, Colbert is channeling nutters from all walks of American society.)
