Colbert Run is for Real!

This could quite possibly be the greatest piss taking of the MSM-picks-the-candidate presidential campaign ever. While the Daily Show's Indecision '04 and Clusterfuck to the Whitehouse are funny and satirical on a high level, Colbert is coming close to genius every night on his show and in his run on the South Carolina ticket (to/on which he has officially applied). The top tier dems were asked about Colbert in a recent debate and Obama responded that he didn't even know he was from South Carolina and challenged Colbert to a grit off. When the camera came back to Colbert he was shovelling grits into his smirked mouth. There was also a nice snubbing of the republican party when he said he"just can't bring myself to write a $35,000 check to the republican party." It costs $2,500 to apply to the demcratic ballot.

I am well looking forward to seeing where he takes this campaign. I hope he cranks it up a notch or two (if that is possible) because there is a lot of work to do to combat the influence on the major news networks.
