We're proud of ourselves and I really don't care.
You can't control people's actions to this (Jon's answer)

We stand by the subtext.

4. the 60K was a prediction that Com. Central had to include in their permit application

Not their estimate today of how many people actually attended.

I was there and it was EXTREMELY crowded.

6. 'We're proud of the show we did'

Their event attracted scores of journalists, high-profile musical talent, and - if Comedy Central's "unofficial estimate" is in the right ballpark -- well over 200,000 people.

But did Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert accomplish what they wanted?

"We're proud of ourselves. We're proud of the show we did," Stewart told reporters at a press conference after the rally. "For us, the success of it was the execution of the idea and the intention."

(snip)
"We wanted to do really good show for people who took the time to come out and see us," said Stewart.
