Driving to work this morning I was listening to the news and heard something I couldn't bring myself to beleive, so I had to look it up.


NEW YORK (AP) -- Stephen Colbert has announced his candidacy for president on "The Colbert Report," tossing his satirical hat into the ring of an already crowded race.


Stephen Colbert looks like a formidable candidate.

"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, 43, had recently satirized the coyness of would-be presidential candidates by refusing to disclose whether he would seek the country's highest office -- a refusal that often came without any prompting.

Shortly before making the announcement, Colbert appeared on "The Daily Show" (the show that spawned Colbert's spin-off) and played cagey, claiming he was only ready to consider a White House bid. He entered the studio set pulled by a bicycle pedaled by Uncle Sam and quickly pulled out a bale of hay and a bottle of beer to show that he was "an Average Joe."

Colbert said his final decision would be announced on a "more prestigious show," which turned out to be his own.

"After nearly 15 minutes of soul-searching, I have heard the call," said Colbert

This is the same joker that made fun of the President when he met with him last year! I'm not promoting we restrict who can run, but lets call this guy what he is. A complete joke. The report I heard this morning says that he has 13% of the votes already. 13%!
There is a golden lining to this cloud though, atleast the 30% dummy vote will be taken off of Hillary Clinton.
