Revealed! The Line-Up For Jon Stewart’s ‘Rally To Restore Sanity’

» 24 comments

If you are one of the gazillion people planning on attending Jon Stewart‘s Rally to Restore Sanity this Saturday here’s what you can expect: Sheryl Crow. Also some other stuff.

National Park Service, which has probably received more attention in the last two months than in the last 20 years combined – has made the Rally permit publicly available (i.e. read it over the phone to someone at CSM). Here’s what the Sanity rally asked permission for back in Sept.

10:00 a.m.: The pre-pre-show begins with videos and music on the jumbotron to keep the gathering crowd friendly and entertained.

Noon: The pre-show starts with a performance from the Roots.

12:40: A comedian (to be determined) warms up the audience.

12:57: A video countdown with a show introduction.

1:00: The show kicks off with the national anthem by a musical guest (to be announced).

1:05: Mr. Stewart welcomes the crowd.

1:20: Mr. Colbert enters, and two actors — Don Novello and Sam Waterston — perform readings.

1:40: Jeff Tweedy and Mavis Staples perform for 10 minutes, followed by Stewart and Colbert until 2 p.m.

2:15: Sheryl Crow performs for five minutes, followed by speakers and guests (to be determined).

2:30: Musical guests (also still being lined up) come on.

2:40: The show turns to a pre-taped sequence — The Sanity and Fear Awards.

So basically, Sheryl Crow, the guy from Law & Order and a lot of surprises.

    Well at least the porta-a-potties will not be over used…since Sheryl Crow only uses ONE piece of toilet paper to cover The Royal King…i mean piece of sh^t.

    Anytime Americans get together for whatever cause it is a good thing. While this is obviously a liberal smooch-fest, it is over all a good thing for a republic.

    Be sure to bring one square of toilet paper in case Ms. Crow can get her head out of her ass long enough to wipe it!

    So this will differ from the Blame-Whitey propaganda rally the naacp had a few weeks back?

    Remember, where they TRASHED the mall, and had speaker after speaker spewing race-oriented smears and accusations against, well, anyone who didn’t look or think like them?

    It will smell worse outside the Port- A- Potties
    than inside,

    I’m thinking that he may read some new “Lazlo Toth” letters because that may fit more with the theme. Though of course, he could just do some straight comedy, but nonetheless, it’s good to see that I’m not the only one who felt he merited a mention.

    To everyone whose comments appear above:
    Given the comments you all have made it is apparent that you have the mentality of a piece of toilet paper, so what do you think Cheryl Crow will be wiping her a.. with? Wait for it………… YOUR BRAINS!!!!!!. Atleast there won’t be a bunch of oooooold people there spewing racism and yelling ” I want my country back!”. A country that never belonged to them in the first place, it was stolen from the Indians. TEA PARTY PEOPLE ARE COMMUNIST, who share the same beliefs as HITLER. They trash anyone who isn’t WASP , they are the modern day KKK. The stinch of RACISM stinks worse than any other smell there is and if anyone stunk up the MALL it surely was the Terrorist TEA Party bunch of cowards who hide behind Democracy instead of what they really want and that’s a society of people who look and think like them. There are a lot of sickening people in this country who should just go somewhere else and leave us SANE people alone.

    That’s my take on it. It’s symbolic and hopefully the symbolism will result in continued involvement by citizens. So far there are 970 rallies in cities world wide

    See, here’s my problem. I agree with you in my distaste for the Tea Party, but your little rant is so full of bullshit and false accusations that it’s embarrassing. There are plenty of things wrong, in my eyes, with the right-wing, but being Communists or thinking like Hitler ain’t one of them.

    The Rally to Restore Sanity is targeting AGAINST people like you.

    Hear hear, pakattak!

    KMV5667, you are the exact type of person that should feel wholly responsible for getting your whiny liberal ass handed to you on Tuesday.
    And then you’ll carp and mewl about how the country threw a temper tantrum, in the words of the lovely and talented Peter Jennings.

    Go change your diaper and let the grown-ups talk.

  • tigerprez

    I heard Joy Behar and George Soros are dueting on the national anthem. Then they’re going to shoot Hugo Chavez out of a canon. Can anyone confirm?

  • Bad Wolf

    Someone has finally “WOKE UP.”
    Isn’t that what you’ve been wanting?

    I agree. There are a lot of honest criticisms to be made against the Tea Party, false accusations only put their detractors in a bad light. I do think that there is a racist strain in the Tea Party.

    I’ll pass on this snooze-fest. I think I have some laundry to do, or dog poop to scoop, or some other interesting project lined up. These Wannabee’s are a “dollar late and a day short.” Losers.

    “2:40: The show turns to a pre-taped sequence — The Sanity and Fear Awards.”

    The president issued a statement saying that the cargo plane packages had been a real credible threat .

    Keep Fear Alive!

    Well said, Pakattak. I think the problem with this country is that they don’t understand Communism & Fascism and the dangers of extremes. Hitler wasn’t Communist. He was Fascist. That’s what the conservative party becomes if it’s taken to it’s extreme. It’s what Liberals fear and fight against. Stalin was Communist. That’s what the liberal party becomes if it’s taken to it’s extreme. It’s what Conservatives fear and fight against. Fighting extremes with extremes is a screwed up solution, and at some point if they go far enough, Communism & Fascism become the same. Einstein said- “You can’t solve a problem with the same thinking that created the problem.” And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said- “Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.” I don’t think we have a right party and a wrong party in this country. I think we have a pendalum that needs ritalin. I don’t have an opinion of Jon Stewart’s rally. He was the keynote speaker at my graduation. His speech started by saying that any school that would invite him to be the speaker was probably not worth going to so we were all stupid. It ended with something about masturbation. So knowing Jon Stewart, he probably didn’t have a point, other than laughing at people who would argue over his point.
