Stewart, Colbert announce Washington rallies
(CNN) – Two Comedy Central funnymen are apparently entering into the partisan political fray with rallies of their own in the nation's capital.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have set October 30 as the date for their respective rallies.
On Thursday night's airing of "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the comedian announced plans for a "Rally to Restore Sanity."
"See you October 30 on the National Mall to spread the timeless message, 'Take it down a notch for America,' " he said.
Stewart dubbed the event a "clarion call for rationality."
"A million moderate march, where we take to the streets to send a message to our leaders and our national media that says, 'We are here! We ... are only here until 6 though, because we have a sitter,'" he said.
On "The Colbert Report," which airs immediately after Stewart's show, Colbert fired back with plans for his "March to Keep Fear Alive."
"Now is not the time to take it down a notch. Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom," Colbert said. FULL STORY

You may consider these two morons funnymen. I do not. I do not like
their content, delivery or their targets. What will be funny is to watch their
rallies fail due to lack of interest-if they really dare to have a rally!
I am surprised that they even have a following of their programs or why the
stations would even have them on.
These guys put together not only the funniest shows on TV but the smartest. This "event" should not be missed as I'm sure there will be many surprises. Early attendance estimates are in the low millions. Bring your wits!
