150,000 Turn Out for Rally to Lame Restore Sanity & Socialism Protest (Crowd Shots) …Update: HuffPo Buses Stuck in Traffic

With record unemployment, historic deficits and punishing government regulations the left kicked off their “Restoring Sanity” rally today in Washington DC.

When you can’t run on your disastrous record what else are you going to do?

“Send in the Clowns” – How appropriate.

The performers just announced that 150,000 were in attendance.

It looks like they have a nice crowd for their concert.
