Stephen Colbert has announced his candidacy for president.
The satirist did so in his usual, tongue-in-cheek style: He will run as both a Republican and a Democrat, and he will campaign only in the state of South Carolina, as a "favorite son."
Colbert says his most likely running mate is, of course, Colbert.
His staff went so far as to contact the two main political parties before announcing his run.
Joe Werner, the executive director of the South Carolina Democratic Party, told the New York Times that "From what I understand, he does have credible people down here, working to have him placed on the ballot."
The Republicans down there (as big on family values as they are) suggested that Colbert ought to buy a sports car and get a girlfriend. Colbert is married.
A few idiots pointed to a recent Robin Williams movie, Man of the Year, as if it were about to come true. Given the quality of the candidates, maybe this impossible scenario would be a blessing.
Only time will tell where this will lead us.
