<\/a>Those people wearing “Stewart\/Colbert ’08” T-shirts can stop hoping.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s the lede in an AP report<\/a> dispelling speculation that the Comedy Central stars were gearing up for a White House run. Where they got the idea that the pair were really running is anybody’s guess. My guess is they got it from watching Comedy Central but thought that “comedy”<\/em> was a synonym for “news”<\/em>. I can’t be too critical of that since I myself have often mistaken news for comedy (I watch Fox too much). Be that as it may, Jon Stewart has come forward to state unequivocally that the dream is over. He described the shirts as…<\/p>\n

“…a real sign of how sad people are…Nothing says ‘I am ashamed of you my government’ more than Stewart\/Colbert ’08.”<\/span><\/p>\n

That sounds more like a rallying cry than a concession to me. Perhaps this statement is not so Shermanesque after all. And I would like to point out that, while Stewart dismissed people wearing Stewart\/Colbert T-shirts, he said nothing to discourage people wearing Colbert\/Stewart T-shirts (like those above). So despair not, patriots. Keep hope alive.<\/p>\n
