GIANT magazine blogs about the Midterm Midtacular

I’ll post later today about my feelings about the show, but for now, let’s review what GIANT magazine had to say about it:

Last Night’s Big Winner: The Daily Show
What? You were watching CNN? What’s wrong with you?

November 8th, 2006 • 9:17 AM

Forget the real election coverage: If you didn’t want to stay up late last night to watch the historic Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert joint live Daily Show/Colbert Report broadcast, Comedy Central has loaded the broadcast onto their website. The highlights: The crowd reaction when the Rick Santorum results are announced, Dan Rather obliging us all by going crazy, Stephen Colbert’s angry rant on what this election means for the future of America (complete with a “Congratulations, terrorists!” cake), and Colbert getting taken behind the woodshed by D.C. Rep Eleanor Holmes Norton. Who knew any politician was that funny?

Go check out the clips before the notoriously crappy Comedy Central media player crashes under the weight of visitors from every office in America.
