It's so nice to see the leaders of the NewAge Left are all getting together at what may be the end of their reign - and all care of the Queen of Quackery - oh, how nice. This rally ought to be a hoot (we're actually rooting for Colbert's "fear" portion of the show) because, with Oprah participating, the "restore sanity" theme has already collapsed and makes no sense. But then - like the uber-hip Jon Stewart and uber-absurdist Stephen Colbert hooking up with mainstreamed cotton candy-brained NewAge Oprah in the first place - nothing liberals do ever does.

UPDATE: Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington, and (by extension) Barack Obama have now co-opted Jon Stewart's rally. Look at this video:

Oprah's bigger than everyone else involved - including Stewart and Colbert!

We don't know - they may have thought she's only hitching onto their bandwagon - but it's obvious Stewart and Colbert are now only there, basically, to hoist the imprimatur of "sanity" onto her kooky NewAge ideas. She's using them. And buying their *brilliant* audience for a bus ticket.

Now, in order to stay true to the theme of the rally - and, especially, their ethos as comedians - they'd have to acknowledge this; though as Leftists, I don't think they will anymore than they told Oprah to shove it when, behind closed doors, she'd previously proposed her participation. They're all fighting for an (unspoken) lost cause - the concept of "The One". You know, "We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For". You've heard that before somewhere, right? "We Are All One"? Except for the rest of us, looking on in horror? Sure.

Anyways, it ought to be one hell of a show. We'd hope nobody did anything stupid but, unfortunately, it's already a little late for that now.
