STEPHEN COLBERT PONDERING RUN FOR" PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF SOUTH CAROLINA"
I don't know how this guy does it, but every couple of weeks he manages to get his name in the news. They name new species of insects, and other things after the guy all the time, and for a while his name was going to be forever linked to a section of the International Space Station until NASA reneged on their promise to allow the public to vote on the matter.

A recent poll of Republicans in Colbert's home state of South Carolina included his name among the candidates, and somehow he managed to draw 5% of the projected vote, beating out Jon Huntsman who came in at 4%. Colbert immediately began to tease that he would be making a major announcement on tonight's broadcast of The Colbert Report, and CNN is reporting that during the taping of that program he released his Super PAC (yes, he has one...) to the control of Jon Stewart as he mulls a potential run for President of the United States of South Carolina.
"Clearly my fellow South Caroliniacs see me as the only Mitternative."
Unfortunately for Colbert (and America), he missed the deadline for getting his name on the actual ballot in South Carolina, and there is no place on that ballot for write in votes.
But it makes for a great story... TV comedian runs for President, ala Pat Paulsen from The Smothers Brothers Show back in the sixties.
Pat Paulsen for President

He's a pretty cool dude, of course he probably wouldn't be fit to run a country though, but one could dream at least. :p
Squat. I actually voted for Pat P.
I'd vote for SC before any of those Bozos, and gladly so. It's time we have comedy in government that is intentional.
Pat Paulsen's campaign slogan was, "If nominated, I won't run. If elected, I won't serve. If impeached, you can't get me out of there!!!"
Not fit to run a country!1?1! As compared to the other competent geniuses in the repug field!1?1! Aaaak!!! I'd vote for him over any of them. Hell, I'd vote for Mooner over any of them. FSM give me strength.
I would totally vote for him.
Overlord Mooner, I wasn't old enough to vote for Paulsen, but did vote for McGovern with my first presidential ballot (my dad considered that a sign of my lack of intelligence and pretty much disowned me after that)
Did you notice Cynthianne's comment? See, you have a disciple should you decide to run for Prez as well as Overlord of the Fucking Universe!
