Colbert's thing is comedy. He would not seriously wish to undermine the election.

well all I can say is that the next year is going to be hilarious on the show, can't wait to see how his candidacy effects it.  :-o

no way he's a good choice

[rowjimmy]

He's not a choice. He's a satirist. He's driving a point home about Fred Thompson's ridiculous campaign.

Is Nader running again this time?  :-P :wink:

[antelope19]

Actually, that just reminded me.  My GF went to this seminar a few weekends back in DC about building with renewable resources and many, many other "Green" topics (I think may have even been called Green Festival) where Nader was the Keynote speaker.  Apparently, he had an open question/answer session and someone had the balls to ask him straight up, and I quote, "How does it feel, Mr. Nader, to be fully responsible for the war in Iraq?"   :-o  Keep in mind this is in front of a rather large crowd.  I was not in attendance, but my GF said it was a little awkward from there on out.
