Rally To Restore Sanity: Mediaite’s Photo Post-Script

There were over 200,000 people at yesterday’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, and a whole lot of them had signs. Tommy Christopher covered the beat from the perspective of someone who arrived earlier and was much closer to the front; I covered the late-to-the-party-gee-it’s-crowded-can-you-hear-anything?-they-clearly-weren’t-expecting-this-many-people contingent, who came equally bedecked and be-placarded, because apparently that’s how you take your country back. There were bears, puns, twins, Hitler mustaches (but ironic Hitler mustaches), teabag jokes, entreaties to legalize pot, earnest entreaties for shared understanding, and adorable little children reminding us why all these things matter. Upshot: the best 50 pics you will see from the rally are below. Well, maybe not the best but this one is pretty awesome. [imageviewer id=31]

p.s. It’s bigger than the Glenn Beck slideshow.
