Colbert ’08
Stephen Colbert is running for President.
Colbert said he planned to run in South Carolina, “and South Carolina alone.” The state, one of the key early primaries, is also Colbert’s native state. Earlier this week, South Carolina public television station ETV invited Colbert to announce his candidacy on its air.
The comedian said he would run as both a Democrat and Republican. He earlier explained the strategy: “I can lose twice.” He claimed three running mate possibilities: Colbert-Huckabee, Colbert-Putin or Colbert-Colbert.
In a guest column for Maureen Dowd in Sunday’s New York Times, Colbert wrote: “I am not ready to announce yet — even though it’s clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative.”
I bought “I Am America (and So Can You)” this weekend, and have begun reading it….it reads like an episode of the show. Very funny, so far.
All recommends to Stephen, none for the ponies, please!!
Without further ado, the floor is yours…

Jon makes my heart beat just a little faster…
so Jon gets my vote… do you suppose we could start a write-in campaign?
And so is my childrens!
I will vote Colbert in the primaries (unless of course Gore announces!)
I’ve seen his portrait hanging at Sticky Fingers BBQ (come lick our bones!) and I’m very proud of Stephen Colbert. We have a freind in common but I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him. The recent article about him in Vanity Fair was awesome.
this announcement on TV, so I had to catch it on YouTube…I’ll post it in case others didn’t either. That’s great!
Good Morning 73v, fellow Dharmanians!
