S.C. Dems vote to keep Stephen Colbert off primary ballot

The South Carolina Democratic Party voted 13-3 to keep Colbert off its primary ballot. That is, without a doubt, the single most disappointing thing the S.C. Democrats have probably ever (I know nothing about the S.C. Dems, mostly because I didn't know there were any; consequently they could be much more disappointing than this).

Look, Colbert might be a comic, but at least he's using his comedy to point out the stunning retardedness of our political process and conservativism. How can this not advance the S.C. Dems' political goals? Can you imagine him on a stage with Hillary and Barack while in character? It'd be hilarious, and voters of all stripes would tune in. That means more people listening to Democratic ideas (between Colbert jokes). And you folks blew it down there in South Cackalacky.

If you want to complain, shoot an email to their executive director, Joe Werner: jwerner@scdp.org

FEC going after Colbert?

You'd think there would be FAR more dirty connections between our lovable slimeball politicians and corporate interests to keep the FEC busy, but apparently they do have time to go after a Faux-News star as well!

Alas, in our utopian society all our politicians are clean as a whistle, so the FEC is free to go after others as it sees fit.

Which brings us to Colbert...

If his campaign plays out the way he's indicated that it will, Comedy Central and Colbert's sponsor, Doritos, could be violating federal laws that bar corporations from backing political campaigns, election law experts say.

Now, the practical, corporate-hating, politician mistrusting part of me would normally salute this gesture as this is obviously corporate interest involved in a "presidential" campaign... But at the same time, is this really the right fight for the FEC to be pursuing right now?

You mean to tell me that of all the candidates running for President right now, Stephen Colbert is a concern to the FEC over some zesty tasty nacho chips, that he as a candidate enjoys, but he as a host endorses?

Side Note: DC&H and I are going to see how difficult it may be to get Colbert on the ballot in Vermont... DC&H has already done the research on forms and amount of signatures, but I'm thinking with Vermont's open primary system it shouldn't be that difficult to get him to be the top republican candidate on the ballot (ala, Fred Tuttle).
