Tweeting the Stewart rally

I watched it on TV and Tweeter – and there were some beauties appearing on my page.

Podhoretz was feeling in hell -

Seriously. This is comedy Hiroshima.

The appearance of Yusuf Islam – now only Yusuf produced some great comments.

Harry Shearer wondered where his last name went.

Alahpundit noted

I’ve seen video of that British TV segment abt Rushdie on YouTube. Stevens/Islam had it pulled down re: copyright claim. I wonder why.

He finally found it

Here’s the video of Stevens/Islam on Rushdie: http://is.gd/guDMB

.@digby56 @atrios Don’t worry – at least his name’s not Mohammed http://is.gd/guDSN

It was Depressed Darth who had the best one

I bet Yusuf hates being called Cat Stevens as much as I hate being called Anakin

I answered that at least he didn’t drop the “Vader”

Keith Olberman got his wittle feelings hurt

It wasn’t a big shark but Jon Stewart jumped one just now with the “everybody on Thr cable is the same” naiveté

Later on he defends himself to a follower

@littleleaf2 when did I say I loved Jon?

Salon seems to agree

Has Jon Stewart jumped the shark?

This is sounding like a college freshman stoner session. Dude if we just all remember we’re like human beings you know?

This might be useful if even one right winger gave a damn. Essentially he’s just telling the left to pipe down. They sure won’t.

Later she corrects herself: the RW won’t she meant.

Daou smells the propaganda

Interesting Stewart and the White House echo the same critique of 24/7 news cycle. But isn’t that a function of blogs and online community?

Later on he tweets

Putting forth this idea: Obama wouldn’t be president without the 24/7 news cycle

Sort of amazing how far the irony/earnestness pendulum has swung back towards irony after just 2 years.

David Corn gets a good retort

@DavidCornDC when are you going to start taking shots at the DNC for failing to get the base worked up instead of whining about the rally?

Throngs of people pissed: “I came to a rally and didn’t see anything.” #insanityrally

On behalf of Zuckenberg, David Corn

More jabs at Facebook founder than any politician. #rally4sanity

Daou captures it

peterdaou Peter Daou

Midterm zeitgeist captured in 2 rallies: Beck/Palin claim monopoly on honor, faith & country while #rally4sanity does medley of SNL outtakes

I loved when Tweeterer Humansvsrobots enjoyed R2D2.

Podhoretz is happy

Tragic fact: Sanity really right about where it was before 11 this morning.

RT @mikemadden: Verdict: Rally had all the signs and signifiers of a social movement, but all the content of a corporate-produced TV show
