I just didn’t think that many people would show.

What’s even more surprising is that they are STAYING.

Stewart seems to have no idea what he should be doing. He’s now about to get serious, which is what this is, in the end, all about—like most comedians, he wants to be valued for his Serious Thoughts.

Johnny Carson famously said this about Chevy Chase: “Chevy Chase couldn’t ad lib a fart after a baked bean dinner.”

I think they’re waiting for something to happen.

1:26: Larimer reports that at least two Porta Potties by the NGA west building are being crushed under weight of people standing on them. This is bad news! She's also stepped in horse**** (taking the beat seriously!) and tripped over a small child.

Hey, I’m the same age as you and I’m in the Tea Party! You are not alone!! It is disappointing (and scary) though that so many of the younger generations, our age and below, have been completely brainwashed and have no understanding of American exceptionalism and what has made this country the most properous and free people on earth.

RE: #199, 2 things come to mind:1) Most of the young people probably haven’t been out in the real world long enough to know what it’s like to get screwed by taxes and govt regulations; 2) I guarantee you most of the college age guys are there trying to score with chicks.

WHOA!
Did he just say, “There is a difference between Tea Partiers and bigots?”

Was that line just CYA?

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.

Agree. Colbert's congressional testimony was funnier than this and that wasnt funny at all. these a-hole's are just full of themselves.

In my delusional youth, I was at Woodstock and the Levitate the Pentagon demonstration in '67. This isnt even close. This is just a corporate-sponsored, free concert.

I feel sorry for our youth whose main source of news is Liebowitz/Stewart. I am fearful that they could be susceptible to be influenced by a radical demagogic speaker. Oh that has already happened and now we are having to undo the damage he is doing to our country.

Well, if they are looking for easy chicks, that would be the place to go.

John Stewart getting serious now, but he's an amateur compared to Glenn Beck. Beck is a pro, even better than Jimmy Swaggart, at letting the voice crack and shedding tears, real tears.

Beck will be remembered, Stewart forgotten.

They had a good sized crowd today. Smug, but large.

Actually I wonder if this is the opening the MSM needed to attempt to destroy Stewart and his “most trusted man in news” shtick...

I would not be surprised to see a lot of “real” journalists puuling out the long knives.

I know a couple of college age kids that aren’t there. Got a call from my son who is with his friends in South Philly. They had planned on going to lunch at a Jewish Deli when Obama’s motorcade got them to have to move over. Then to top it off Obama went into the deli and they closed it to the public. So much for their plans. His friend who voted for Obama last time said he just lost my vote. You gotta love these kids. My thought was our nation is under a credible threat at our President in traveling around the Country stopping at deli’s? Priorities Mr. President?
