The show started out as usual. The greeting, announcement of that night's guest, ect. From there, Stewart moved into the news of the Pope's visit in Europe. I thought, "here he goes." Almost completely tuning him out, I nearly missed the announcement of the night. Watch for yourself:

That is right. Jon Stewart is holding a rally in DC. A rally to "restore sanity" with a march of a "million moderates". I'll admit. I was intrigued. Normally, Stewart forgets about the insanity of the Left. His coverage of the anti-war rallies during the Bush presidency was pretty slim if present at all, while he seemed to enjoy covering the Tea Party rallies of last year. But this time, he seemed to be honest in wanting to expose the insanity on both sides. To offer a voice to those who would rather find solutions to problems and drop the conspiracy nonsense.

That was until his counter part made his own announcement:

So... On the same day that Jon Stewart holds a rally that is meant to attract moderates, Steven Colbert is going to hold a march to keep fear alive? My attitude quickly went from intrigued to feeling victim of a prank.

What does Stewart expect of this rally? Am I to understand that Jon Stewart is trying to be fair and balanced by sharing the mall with a rally that is diametrically opposed to his own? Does he actually expect moderates to attend a rally (I could end the sentence there and it still be a valid question) that sharing the stage with non-moderate overtones?

What about Steven Colbert? Well... never mind. I don't see how anyone could take anything Steven Colbert seriously. Colbert is so over the top that he has actually evolved into a parity of himself.

So what can we expect from this rally? I am going to say nothing. Only those that are interested in the schtick offered by these two shows will turn up. Me? I'd rather be at home watching football.
