Quick Observations About the Stewart/Colbert Rally

1. The Cat Stevens/Ozzy/O'Jays thing was clever.

2. The press (AP filtered through AOL/Yahoo) was friendlier than it had been towards Beck or any Tea Party. Lots of "Funny Signs at Rally" sorts of links. As I recall, there were funny signs at Tea Parties too but they were labled racist.

3. Although it was officially non-partisan the Dems were there in force to register voters.

4. The crowd was younger than the Tea Party crowds but it was just as white. There may have been more African-Americans on stage than in the crowd. De facto racism? You decide.

5. Stewart and Colbert have been ruthless, vicious, brutal and mean to their political opponents for years. Now that their favorite butt buddy is on the ropes, they flash us the peace sign and call for civility. Insert laugh track here. Ha Ha Ha. Hee Hee Hee. Haw Haw Haw.
YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY!
