Rally To Restore Sanity Skewers Pundits And Gets Large Presence
The hotly predicted “Rally to Restore Sanity” kicked off Saturday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The event, the “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear,” was eagerly awaited and crowds were estimated at over 200,000. It had been a good half day of activities. Numerous guest speakers and musical acts were there as well. The rally centered on a theme of not taking sensationalist media seriously and introducing more rationality to the national discourse.
The starting with a benediction with the 'Rally to Restore Sanity'
A fake priest played by Don Novello on Saturday Night Live, or Father Guido Sarducci, started the "Rally to Restore Sanity" with a Benediction after Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were introduced. The rally involved a lot of acts that had music with some. Steward and Colbert commented as usual. Colbert began wearing an Evil Kinevil suit, and both donned American Flag pullovers at one point. There were numerous musical guests including Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow and also the Roots and Tony Bennett. There was one other contrast there too. Stewart brought Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, on stage to perform "Peace Train.". The whole thing ended with “Love Train” sung by O’Jays after Ozzy Osbourne sang “Crazy Train.” He had been invited by Colbert.
Hearing from the media
The point of the rally, above all other things, had been to take shots at sensationalist media. Clipps of those like Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann played while making fun of them between musical numbers and appearance from Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Politico accounts that Olbermann commented on Stewart on Twitter. He said Stewart had “jumped the shark” on there. The rally was talked about by other commentators. They dismissed it without consideration. There were lots of people who showed up to the Stewart and Stephen Colbert rally. About 200,000 showed up.
Strange ending
Pegg explained on Twitter he had nothing to do with the Simon Pegg film “Hot Fuzz” being broadcast at the end of the rally by Comedy Central all the sudden.
The epic religious struggle between Christians and Muslims during the medieval era is chronicled with incredible detail in this History Channel production, utilizing breathtaking locations and amazing special effects to relate the characters, battles, and legends surrounding the war over the Holy Lands.
