[See NewsBusters for more.] Comedian and libertarian Penn Jillette stood up for the Second Amendment, Tuesday, offering a rare non-liberal perspective on Comedy Central's Nightly Show. In typical liberal media fashion, Jillette was outnumbered three-to-one. After contributor Ricky Velez made the tired argument that the Second Amendment was about muskets, Jillette zinged, "But, unfortunately, with that exact same argument on the First Amendment, you have real trouble, too."  Highlighting that speech now includes the internet and television, he added, "... The First Amendment has been broadened tremendously beyond what the Founding Fathers intended and I'm all for that."
