Colbert runs for presidency!

Or so he has announced.

For those who may have missed it, he announced that he was going to consider whether or not to officially run for the United states. Seen in this video:

About 20 minutes later on his show he showed up and announced he will be running:

Now... I'm hoping I'm not missing anything as I just caught the repeat of the episodes. Hopefully there isn't a "HAHA IT WAS A JOKE" declaration somewhere...

To be honest this would be one of the greatest things to happen. It's obvious he has more wit then most candidates wich isn't hard to do between Hilary Clinton and Rudy "9-11" Giuliani. He seems to understand what the US is currently lacking and even jokes about it.

If it's true... I know who my favorite presidency candidate is!

You missed a whole ton from not thinking about what you saw.
He's running as Stephen Colbert the conservative pundit character(for the democratic party nomination, no less), not the real guy.
He's only running in South Carolina.
Making it *gasp* a joke!

at you for thinking otherwise.

Our new dining facility was supposed to be called "The Stephen Colbert Cafeteria"... unfortunately the board of trustees or whatever vetoed the results of democratic election.

Its too bad really Steven Colbert would probably be one of the best presidents ever.

I still stand by my comments. He's my favorite runner.

I wish I could vote against all the candidates.

He'd do a better job being president than Bush now by even just being a comedian with executive power.

I VOTE FOR HILLARY BECAUSE I AM A CLOSET FACIST!
