Let's Get Jon Stewart's Crew to do some "Bush Stole the Election" Skits
Humor has been used for thousands of years to skewer the powerful and mighty. We should start pressuring the late night comedians to highlight the madness and criminality of the BushCo. cabal specifically in regard to the issue of vote fraud. Jon Stewart might be persuaded to do a few jokes or skits about vote fraud. I don't think Letterman or Leno will touch the issue, but who knows.

3. Stewart's already made jokes...at the expense of those crying fraud

"Election night itself I found anticlimactic, since I had been looking forward to a long and drawn-out recount process. When that didn't happen, I had to come to terms with the results. When you're on the losing side, the first thing to do is consider the concession and conciliation speech -- and then blame systematic voter fraud. First you reach out, then you put on your tinfoil hat, talk to the black helicopters and try not to swallow the fact that more people agreed with the other guy."

4. SNL is part of NBC, they have Exit Poll Results might be why they did

did Ohio vote jokes and Comedy Central didnt. I.e Stewart may not know that BUsh and Co. stole the election the way that NBC does.
