The rally is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. EDT. It will be broadcast on C-SPAN and Comedy Central.

I read some where that Robin Williams/Comic Relief’s enforced PC-ness harmed the careers of a number of comedians, up&coming comedians, and the quality of comedy in general, for a generation.

From what I’m seeing, I don’t think it can be refuted.

Who is this guy?

[mware]

Jack Wild died last year I think.

>>Jack Wild died last year I think.<<

With as lively as this event is, wheeling him out would be an improvement.

[hugorand]

The lengths that Stewart and Colbert are going to convince everyone that they’re sane is very telling.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

He’d fit right in here.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Indeed. I turned it off after they showed the helicopter fly over then started presenting their medals, two obviously distinct references to Beck’s rally...but this isn't political, uh huh.

I do have to say I'm surprised at the turn out, looks like a pretty big [white] crowd.

“This is boring, dull, not funny, a dud, a flop, a waste of time. But Stewart’s fans in the MSM will make it sound like I Have a Dream/Woodstock by the time they’re done reporting.”

LOL! I just went onto their facebook fan page. The fans think it’s just great...they’re all wishing they were there instead of watching it on TV!

[netmilsmom]

WOW, he did die. In 2006. Oral cancer. How sad.
He had his vocal cords removed because of it.

[vox_freedom]

Wow, Father Guido Sarducci. What next? Emily Latella? The Coneheads?

Rosanne Rosanadanna. Oh, wait!

[Dinah Lord]

They've got to be kidding:

CNN: Stewart, Colbert preside over light-hearted, star-studded rally

[mware]

I saw some pics of him a few months before he died. His life style killed him as sure as I am typing this.

[toldyou]

They’re now singing a song about how great America is and said “there’s nothing to be fixed.” I guess that means Obama is doing everything right.

[netmilsmom]

That’s so sad.

[The Citizen Soldier]

Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow are brought to you by the letter R.

[antceecee]

The crowd looks dazed... not too excited.

[netmilsmom]

Should be the letter “L”.
As in Lib or Lame.

I can’t do this anymore. It’s a yawner.

[toldyou]

“Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow are brought to you by the letter R.”

Good to hear that!

[antceecee]

Panning shot of the crowd while Sheryl is singing - someone holding a sign “Everyone Poops”? What the heck does that mean?

[toldyou]

Just googled it...saw a quote:

“Only use one square of toilet paper: Sheryl Crow”
