C Street: Sex Scandals, Fundamentalism, Family from The Takeaway: Early Edition

The book is supposedly based on a dump of about 600 boxes full of documents—communiqués and memos, journals and such. This has everything to do with understanding the sort of insanity (or sanity) that Stewart and Colbert are trying to restore. Here we have very powerful people—business people, governors, senators, etc.—and what has happened is, God has intervened in very literal ways. Schizophrenic much? They hear voices. These leaders, in charge of nothing less than factions of the Federal Government, whole States, and various big cap corporations, are hearing—in English no less—instructions from God. Perfect. Well, gee, that’s great. That’s just what I wanted to hear right now. I’m heading to Switzerland. Auf Wiedersehen!
