You hear about that time where Stephen Colbert started a Twitter account for Bill Clinton?
Exclusive from St. Andrews (SC) Patch.
Suggestion to the campaign manager: Call her brother up.
Talk show host Stephen Colbert is South Carolina voters’ preferred candidate to replace Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), according to a new poll by the Democratic Public Policy Polling.
The Comedy Central host, who’s openly lobbied for the seat, leads a field where the rest of the names are Republicans: 20 percent of voters want South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) to appoint him to DeMint’s seat when the senator resigns from Congress.
Some of the other names that Colbert was up against include Rep. Trey Gowdy (14%), former South Carolina First Lady Jenny Sanford (11%), former South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster (8%) and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (8%). Don’t get us wrong. We know that Stephen has a snowball’s chance in hell of actually being tapped by Gov. Haley. This certainly won’t do anything to end rumors that the comedian is considering a run for the Senate seat in 2014 though.
Conservative Sen. Jim DeMint is resigning, and Stephen Colbert wants the job. All he wants us to do is tweet #SenatorColbert at Gov. Nikki Haley.

“Tweet @nikkihaley & tell her why I belong in the US Senate. For one, I wouldn’t just block legislation, I’d body-check it! #SenatorColbert”
For our money, we want Alvin Greene back in. Here’s why:
“There comes a time in every great man’s life when he must be cast in wax — if only to remove unwanted body hair.” - Stephen Colbert
The difference here: If you put them next to an open flame, one will melt and the other will kick fire’s ass in the name of America.
We’ve had a bit of fun with Stephen Colbert’s challenge to us on how we’d cover non-circular news.
Here are the final two logos we built just for him, including a likeness of the comedian and his ultimate challenge: a story about SpongeBob SquarePants eating Doritos at the Pentagon.
(That last one even appears in print today on the Life section.)
Anything else, Mr. Colbert?
USA Today in a fight with Colbert? Bring it.
In a bit of unfortunate timing, Stephen Colbert’s new children’s book “I am a Pole (And So Can You!),” which has a very prominent endorsement from the just-deceased Maurice Sendak right on the cover, comes out today. (via Stefan Becket)
Jill Biden and I started this initiative to make sure that this country - which is a grateful nation - to make sure that we do whatever we can to honor the service of our troops, our veterans, and their families.First Lady Michelle Obama • Promoting Joining Forces, her campaign with Jill Biden, on The Colbert Report. Last night, Stephen Colbert tweeted “Supporting our troops takes more than wearing a ribbon, unless that ribbon says, “I just hired a U.S. Veteran.”
Colbert on Rush Limbaugh: “Every time he’s slept with a woman, he’s had to slip her a pill first.” Scathing.

Thanks. I guess my thoughts are as follows:

Maybe the truthiness was getting to be a little too much for Viacom to handle?
Dear Sirs and Sirettes,
Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow (ABTT) would like it entered into the record that as of January 30th, 2012, the sum total of our donations was $1,023,121.24.
Stephen Colbert, President of ABTT, has asked that I quote him as saying, ”Yeah! How you like me now, F.E.C? I’m rolling seven digits deep! I got 99 problems but a non-connected independent-expenditure only committee ain’t one!”
I would like it noted for the record that I advised Mr. Colbert against including that quote.
Sincerely,
Shauna Polk Treasurer Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Inc.

I think Stephen Colbert’s endorsement of me is a marvelous thing. … Keep the youth vote inspired, keep the college vote inspired.Herman Cain • Discussing his “endorsement” from Stephen Colbert. Seriously, we make fun of Cain a lot, but this speech tonight is (and his answers are) pretty good. He did way better than Bachmann did last year. He says he might do some more stuff with Colbert, depending on how things work out schedule-wise. He’s also pitching a site called CainConnections.com, which will eventually pitch “The 9-9-9 Revolution.”
