NEW YORK — Website publisher Arianna Huffington has promised a ride for everybody who wants to get to Washington from New York for the rallies scheduled by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert next month.
Appearing on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” on Tuesday, Huffington told Stewart that anyone who arrives at her office in lower Manhattan on Oct. 30 can hitch a free ride on one of her buses.
Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” and a competing “March to Keep Fear Alive” led by his fellow TV host, Colbert, will take place on the National Mall. Stewart says his rally is for people who think the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard.
President Barack Obama raised the subject of Stewart’s rally during a round-table Wednesday with residents of Richmond, Va., saying he was “amused” by the rally and that it’s for people who expect some common sense and courtesy in their daily interactions. The Associated Press
