Daily Show/Colbert ‘Midterm Midtacular’ with Dan Rather

Steve Safran November 7th, 2006

SPOILER ALERT - YOU MAY FIND OUT WHO IS WINNING THE ELECTION: Giving it his own twist, Jon Stewart is now up live with the Daily Show/Colbert Report joint effort “Midterm Midtacular.” Jon is calling the losers in each race. The one exception? “Rick Santorum has been raptured!” Colbert has his own version of the MNSBC Democracy Dashboard, the “Catastrophometer.” (The more the Democrats win, the more the dial leans toward bin Laden.) Meantime, the Comedy Central Indecider is liveblogging the election. Dan Rather’s appearance was great. Stewart’s tried to get Dan to use some Dan-isms to describe close races. Dan played along. The best one? “If you ain’t got the yolk, you can’t emulsify the hollandaise.”
