As the world knows, one of those stations on the teevee reserved some of the green areas of the National Mall on which to have a comedy concert thing, and this is happening right now. If you decided you did not want to go to this thing and be forced to stand among the unwashed liberal teevee-watching elites, your Wonkette is now here with LIVE TEAM COVERAGE to accompany you watching this on teevee or your computer or whatever. (And if you are at the rally and somehow reading this, go ahead and tip us at the usual e-mail with whatever odd photos you have taken or with descriptions of whatever weird stuff is going on in the crowd that we don't see in our Media Bubble.) Currently famed Jimmy Fallon house band The Roots are performing the "pre-show" with John Legend, just as they did at Glenn Beck's rally, so we guess we should start this liveblog thing.
CBS (lame), CBC (lamer) and Mythbusters (!?) estimate 200-250K sheeple. CBS said Beck had 87K, though Michele Bachmann said he had over a million.
The Beck group was older and -- no doubt -- from out of town. And I think they viewed it as an obligation to show their support for restoring honor. (I am in favor of honor, and the Bush epoch certainly left it in need of restoring.)
The sanity group was younger and came to laugh, which is an easier sell.
Nevertheless, nice to see a large group of non-pissed-off Americans for a change.
One of the worst (best?) days for getting my comments on HuffPo deleted occurred when there was a "story" about some appearance by Tony Robbins (i.e. one of his seminars or maybe it was a tv show. I don't care enough to look.). I guess the goderators there had their giant within break through and press the delete button.
Hey, Asswipe! Where were you when Dubya and Cheney started that pre-emptive war that would pay for itself, but instead became a super massive black hole of idiocracy and crushing debt? Were you on the rah-rah squad at that time? Fuck the deficit, deficits don't matter according to Ronnie Ray Gun and Dickless Cheney. What we want to do is act like buffoons and kill brown people!
Stewart gave a good speach, Ozzie and Cat together, a whole shit load of happy people jumped up at the same time, the guy who saved a Koran from being burned by an asshole got a medal. Good times.
i find it interesting that i can't find any media references to the main rally point that the media is distorting and hurting america (except briefly in NY Times).
i wonder about this lapse on the part of the media.
I read that last night, and now want to be sick.

Oh, the irony...
OK, according to Fox, the official attendance count is 5 people.
So now you know.

Schwartzenegger voice: ITS NOT A TUBA
I hope he calls it &quot;Can&#039;t Get Off the Bus.&quot;
Check all the closets in the area. He may be trapped, being fingerbanged!
I dunno. The Beck Scooter Brigade may have drawn a larger crowd, if you go by overall tonnage.
Have you found the Larry King Memorial Port-a-Potty yet?
i suspect mythbusters are completely flummoxing the punditry.
