The disenchanted voters of America — or just those with a good sense of humor — aren’t simply getting their news from liberal Comedy Central comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, they’re sending their money, too. On Tuesday morning, Colbert (and formerly Stewart’s) satirical super PAC, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow,” announced that it had raised over $1 million, the New York Times reports. (GAME: Guess that super PAC!) (more)

While some in the political class may shake their heads at comedian Stephen Colbert’s mockery of the political system — with his super PAC antics and formation of a presidential exploratory committee — former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has embraced it. (more)

1.) Tea Party vs. GOP? — In less than three years, the Tea Party has gone from being ignored to being an amusing joke to being a convenient scapegoat for all of America’s ills. What’s next? TheDC’s John Rossomando reports: “Tea party activist David Lewis’s announcement Friday that he plans to mount a primary challenge to House Speaker John Boehner could indicate a larger problem for the GOP leadership, and point to restlessness among an important segment of the tea party faithful. Republican leaders face a growing perception among some tea party factions that they are not interested in holding the Obama administration’s feet to the fire on spending. Some say the Republicans talked a good game going into the 2010 midterms but have failed to deliver since winning control of the House of Representatives. ‘Everybody knows that the debt ceiling deal was a completely fraudulent deal,’ Mark Meckler, national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, told The Daily Caller. ‘We were told that if we passed this deal we wouldn’t be downgraded, but we were still downgraded.’ Meckler warns that Republicans and Democrats could both face an electoral bloodbath in the 2012 primaries if they do not do more to hold the line on taxes and spending.” Don’t these fools know that America has an elite political class that is separate from the rest of us, and teabaggers aren’t welcome? The nerve! (more)

I saw a clip the other day of Bill Maher casually referring to Republicans as “a**holes.” That’s hardly news, and is in fact typical of the discourse-poisoning invective that caused Maher to be widely blamed by the mainstream media for the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. (Or maybe they didn’t blame him; I forget.) But when I pondered what causes Maher to be so contemptuously dismissive of a plurality of his fellow Americans, an unlikely suspect emerged: Maher’s religious beliefs. (more)

Last week, “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace interviewed Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart.

On last Sunday’s “Fox News Sunday,” Comedy Central “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart made an appearance in which he was highly critical of the Fox News Channel. But was Stewart playing fast and loose with the facts in his condemnation of FNC? (more)

The Huffington Post headline proclaimed triumphantly, “Jon Stewart LIVE on Fox News, Tells Host ‘You’re Insane.’” Well yes, Jon Stewart did indeed say that to Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace at one point during their riveting discussion yesterday of media bias. But that headline doesn’t come close to capturing how the interview actually went down, and more accurately captures HuffPo’s wishful thinking that their hero would march into the Faux News Evil Empire and kick some serious butt. HuffPo didn’t get its wish. The rest of us, however, were treated to an excellent discussion in which Stewart eventually admitted that many longstanding conservative complaints about the media are valid. (more)
