Stephen Colbert To Run As A Democrat
He says it costs too much to run on the GOP ticket.
Funnyman Stephen Colbert’s presidential campaign is apparently no joke.
The host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” will file papers late Wednesday or early Thursday to put his name on South Carolina’s Democratic primary ballot, a source familiar with the comedian’s strategy said.
Stephen Colbert, a South Carolina native, made two “campaign” stops in the Palmetto State last weekend.
The South Carolina native will not file papers as a Republican because the $35,000 required to get on the GOP ballot is apparently too high a threshold.
Bwahhahhaaaa.
Stephen Colbert is funny. Wouldn’t it be fun if he won. At least he has a sense of humor, not like some of the jokers running for president.
Isn’t this basically the same plot as that movie with Robin Williams? (No, not Mrs. Doubtfire.) Man of the Year, I think? Weird. Now all we need is for a computer glitch to actually elect him.
Come to think of it, I’ll get right on it.
I was trying to remember that movie but it escaped me.
Wouldn’t it be weird if he won.
Haven’t you heard? He gets too much dirty, corporate tortilla chip money.
Just a comment on the CNN writeup, “Opponents such as Howe argue that Colbert makes a mockery of the political process.”.
HA!
Mr. Howe – wake the f$ck up! The US political process IS a joke. How else should we treat it?
