Cobert for president?

Now, this is interesting, indeed. Should I take your words literally or should I assume you're pulling a "Colbert" here yourself? I mean, you say you like his show, OK, that's straight-forward enough; you usually agree with him on a lot of different views - does that mean you usually agree with what he actually says or you "get" that he's really being quite sarcastic when he talks about poltics and the like? He's only entering the race in his home state of South Carolina as the "Native Son" and he claims he wants to be on both the Democratic and Republican ballots.
So, in answer to your question, of course he isn't serious about running for President, he's running in one state as the "character" he portrays on his comedy show. But as far as if he could run the country, heck he could do a better job than the "comedian" in office now!

I think they should have let him run in SC. Would have been good for the politician to laugh a bit.

It's old news now, anyhow, Colbert was making fun of the way politicians announce their candidatures, usually going on National Television and saying they will consider running for president and the decision will be made available at another time - a day or two some cases, what a soul searching.
Then for many reason he just couldn't get into the ballots. Was he serious? No, just a fake reality show about politics. That's Colbert:)

reminds me of that one movie with robin williams maybe mr colbert saw it and thought to do the same but was not as committed as the character in robin williams movie i think he should have run for president i know he wouldent have won but who knows would have knocked alot of people down in the polls
