Hah! The requirements for the presidency should be a little bit higher than "not worse than Bush". Just because the bar's low now, doesn't mean we should accept anyone who can jump over it.

I missed that. Any link to a YouTube video or transcript?

I like Colbert. He's a crack-up.

But there is no way in hell I would vote for him for President. He's a character, an amalgamation of parodies of other (somewhat extreme) news commentators. The opinions he puts forth are not necessarily that of Colbert the person, but of Colbert the character. I wouldn't vote for him because I wouldn't know if I was getting the character or the person. And I don't agree with Colbert the character, because he's a satire. And I don't know anything about Colbert the person.

Colbert the President would be a farce. It would be an absolute joke.

But you're right. It might not be worse than what we've got going now.

This seems too much like the story line of a recent movie...hmm... But Colbert just isn't taking politics that serious. How do I know if he knows whats going on himself, or just having people behind the scenes telling him what's going on. I don't, so therefore I don't have any confidence in him running for president.

It wouldn't surprise me, though, if the election poles for South Carolina increased threefold this upcoming election, and this increase was equal to the number of Colbert votes.

I'll bet his ratings are way up...book sales and fame in general. I like Colbert, but give me a break. I think Steve Carell would make a much better president.

As I said before, because I've never seen what Colbert the person is like, I wouldn't vote for him, because I wouldn't want to vote a character into office. Imagine if we elected Schwarzenegger as governor here in California, only to find that we had actually elected the Kindergarten Cop
