My son James has an intriguing theory about Barack Obama’s September Slumps.
Candidate Obama had one last year. John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin had shaken up the race, and she had not yet imploded. Nor had the economy. The polls were tied. Democrats were in a panic.
This year, President Obama had his health-care reform slump.
Some analysts say Obama rose to the rescue both times. James says there is more to it. He credits the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Effect.
You see, for some reason, Stewart and Colbert take off several weeks around Labor Day. Their shows on Comedy Central, which are without question the best and most perceptive news programs on television today, go to reruns.
So they weren’t there last year until late September to prick the Palin balloon. Or this year to skewer Fox News, Crazy Joe Wilson and like-minded Crazies.
But now they’re back. Help is here in the form of some perspective, welcome humor and much-needed balloon-pricking.

Still using the "Palin card"???? C'mon, Gary. That really is disappointing. Yeah, it will get the "radical" leftist democrats to holler "Yeah...Right on?....Say it, Gary!!!"...but, other than that, let the Palin card rest. It's just so passe.

Yeah Gary, I especially liked the way Stewart chastized the media for ignoring the ACORN scandal. Oh, not what you had in mind I guess.

Enigma: that's what Gary LIKES about Stewart. Stewart doesn't give anybody a free pass. My god, you're dense. Have you ever met anyone who valued principle over partisan preference? The quality of the comments on this blog has gone drastically downhill. Gary's and Carter's posts are great, but other than Wilder and (to some extent) DAP I haven't read a coherent thought on here in the last 30 minutes. I might, MIGHT check back in a few months from now.
