Colbert: a Republican buffon
By Josh Marshall, on Stephen Colbert "running" for president:[L]ook at this paragraph down into Rasmussen's write-up (italics in the original) ...
Colbert does particularly well with the younger voters most likely to be watching his show and therefore most aware of his myriad presidential-like qualities. In the match-up with Giuliani and Clinton, Colbert draws 28% of likely voters aged 18-29. He draws 31% of that cohort when his foes are Thompson and Clinton. In both match-ups, Colbert has more support with young voters than the GOP candidate.
There's something appropriate in this. Americans in their twenties would prefer a normal person pretending to be a Republican buffoon than the real thing.

And every time someone writes about his "campaign" or invites him on a real talk show, Colbert is just proving his point that politics, and especially a Presidential election, is pure farce.
He is the Mark Twain of our time. If Mark Twain had access to teevee and was better looking.
