Jon Stewart’s rapier wit may be coming to the Washington Post as part of a special Election 2008 program, according to Washingtonian. No word as to whether this’ll be a videocast done through the Post’s website, or a printed word medium, but the idea of more serious news outlets grabbing a comedian for the Election suggests that we’re in for yet another rough ride in the campaign season.
I expect the 2008 Election to be full of contention, muck-raking, mud-slinging, accusations and all manner of evilness from our politicians. Perhaps Jon Stewart can at least make us laugh before we cry ourselves to sleep.
Major hat tip to Catherine Andrews, and congratulations on her new position at Washingtonian.
