Jon Stewart & Co. Tear Apart Sarah Palin’s Today Show Co-Hosting Appearance | Mediaite
Jon Stewart & Co. Tear Apart Sarah Palin’s Today Show Co-Hosting Appearance | Mediaite
Stewart summed it up: “I think it means you’re cynically exploiting a manufactured notion of yourself as a crusader against a monolithic exclusionary activist liberal media, whilst actually enjoying a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship with them — only to the detriment to the rest of the country.”
“It’s the Today Show!” he continued. “Do you really believe co-hosting the Today Show is is entering the lion’s den, armed only with some Jesus fish earrings and an Iwo Jima sized flag pin?” He then launched into detailing how ridiculous Palin’s perspective is.
LP - This is a hoot.

Stephen Colbert's PAC Parody Explains Campaign Finance To America (Part 1)
Stephen Colbert's PAC Parody Explains Campaign Finance To America (Part 1)
WASHINGTON -- Two years after the Supreme Court voided many of the country's bedrock campaign finance laws, much of the American public is still confused by the change -- and stupefied by the often-impenetrable jargon that frequently encumbers any discussion of the topic.
But one public figure has managed to pierce the veil of dullness to actually demonstrate -- in an electrifying way -- just how dangerous and corrupt the current system of political campaign financing has become.
LP - Colbert and Stewart as teachers. The other side just hopes Americans get even stupider and more out of touch.

From Stewart on his under management communique: "Stephen and I have in no way have worked out a series of morse-code blinks to convey information with each other on our respective shows."

Colbert is in. Stewart takes over the Super Pac and will not coordinate
I think the Colbert Report and Daily Show will have a ball with this showcasing the stupidity of Citizen's United and the wisdom of some of America's premier legal minds.
