With tongue firmly planted in cheek, I draw your attention to this wire service story, in case you hadn’t already heard the news:
“I shall seek the office of the president of the United States,” Colbert said Tuesday on his Comedy Central show as red, white and blue balloons fell around him.[...]
Colbert 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.
And, apparently he’s planning to run only in South Carolina.
Considering how little I like the candidates already in the running…heck, I’d vote for him.
