NYers: Arianna Huffington pledges free bus rides to Stewart/Colbert rally

(AP) – 19 hours ago

NEW YORK — Website publisher Arianna Huffington has a ticket to ride, one for everybody who wants to get to Washington from New York for the rally 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.

She said her "promise" is to have as many buses as people to fill them.

An information sign-up list is on the website for The Huffington Post.

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.

1. I am unimpressed

Let's just hope that not many activists who plan on late GOTV efforts the wk end before the election will decide to go to DC and mill around to see what two comedians will offer them. Love em but it is exactly the kind of distraction we don't need that wk end. Good for Arianna, she can afford to do that this fall.
I, however can not. I am utterly dependent on SS disability and Medicare.
