Comedy Central has credentialed 300 journalists,
commissioned 500 portable toilets, and received permits for 60,000
attendees on the National Mall, though the turnout could be much
higher. "We've been talking about upward of 400 million or
so," says spokesman Steve Albani.
Again, wow. If they get 400 million people on
the National Mall, I think Congressman Hank Johnson's (D-Ga.) worry
about landmasses
tipping over might become a reality.
Either that 400-million thing is a joke or a
misprint. Regardless, what will be more interesting is
not the rally, itself, but its after-effects
-- figuratively and literally.
Figuratively, in that they've got their work cut out for
them if they're looking to turn back the Tea Party/Conservative
tide set to hit shore on Tuesday.
Literally, if they're looking to outdo the filthy and
disgusting condition (photos
here) they (those on the left) left the
National Mall in last time they rallied.
I thought you were getting a jump on the MSM's crowd
estimates... given their record of expanding or depressing numbers
based on the political leaning of the crowd being estimated…
Stewarts group leaning left as it does, I think somewhere between
400 million and an even Billion is about right.

Kind of like the Labor department’s weekly unemployment
numbers...
Anyone care to bet that somehow mysteriously this weeks and last
week’s numbers are unexplainably revised upwards after the
election?

Forget 400 million attendee's.. Where did Comedy central find
300 journalist's worthy of credential?

Too lazy to do your homework, sir? If you'd bothered to check
the Rally for Sanity website you would have seen that there's a
global groundswell with rallies springing up on every continent --
1,180 0f them at last count. Check out the map of Europe for
example. http://www.meetup.com/rally4sanityandmarch4fear/

Thank you, but there is no need for the link; most of us know
that there's a large world contingent of loafers and moochers, not
to mention dupes, particularly out here in California. Thanks
again, and be well.

JoAnn, what in the world are you doing reading AmerSpec .
Thought you'd be on your way to the rally. Woooo, a global
groundswell.
Fast Johnny| 10.29.10 @ 8:18AM
Yes, Jo ann, that's right. Those who choose to let government
provide for them are coming together across the world. I mean just
look at how France, Greece and Spain are in agreement with this
rally. I guess Europe has the right idea, riot and protest whenever
someone suggests they actually work. Are you so sure the
demographic of these rallys are the ones you want to hang out with?
In a few years those same Euro-socialists will be rallying and
protesting that the U.S. isn't protecting them militarily.

Thanks for the link Jo Ann. I wasn't aware that there were 1,180
like-minded rallies springing up all over the globe. I hit the link
you provided and the site provides another count of the "global
groundswell " . . . all of 5,885 people "at last count."
Some of the "rallies" are gonna be kinda small but I'm sure
their enthusiasm for sanity will be sincere.

No way are 400 porta-toilets enough for 400 million people.
Can you imagine the lines?
Frosty| 10.29.10 @ 1:58AM
Don't worry, JKR, the libtards will just use the shrubs.
zaks5thave| 10.29.10 @ 7:01AM
This is the most transparent administration in the country's
history, who needs shrubs, just do it.
matthew s harrison| 10.28.10 @ 10:41PM
JKR-you are making a dangerous assumption-and that is that these
people are "house broken". Given the aftermath of barry's
coronation and ed schultz's boondoggle, they don't use toilets-so
400 is way, way more than they would need if every lefty on earth
showed up!

The headlines the next day can only report one event:
The Comedy Central audience visits the Nations capital in search
of their mojo!
Jack Bauer| 10.29.10 @ 9:15AM
He means The Mall will actually LOOK like 400 million leftists
defecated their flotsum and jetsum.
MikeBee| 10.29.10 @ 10:19AM
Just the fact that they expect that many people to fit on the
National Mall finally lays to rest the fundamental foundational
belief of most liberal non-profit organizations: that the world is
becoming overpopulated. If 400 million can populate the National
Mall for a day, there is no problem of global overpopulation.

If the dead come out to vote for democrats every election
they'll be there for this event.
