After the final notes were played on the National Mall, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert went to the National Press Club to face the media, one of the biggest antagonists during the Rally to Restore Sanity. From the constant stream of “What will the political ramifications be for the Democrats?” coverage to the groups trying to opt the rally for their own political cause, the focus on the rally was viewed by many to have a decidedly political view. However, with Jon’s last statement at the rally, he all but nullified any question that this rally was about nothing but letting the politicians and media know that people are tired of the fear, of the insanity, of the extremism of the 24-hour news cycle and political process. And the press was given one last opportunity to ask Jon and Stephen to clarify their message for the rally.

The only problem is that it seemed that even with all that Jon had said and done during the rally, the press was bound and determined to draw some kind of political agenda out of Stewart. Jon, of course, was having none of that.
