Seriously? Colbert?

Ok so does anyone takes this whole Colbert for President thing seriously? It's ridiculous. He's pretty much just making a mochery out of the whole thing. Does he really think he's going to win? No...he doesn't. He said he wasn't in it for the win, but for the run. So what's the point. Why would he run and waste all that time and money, when he knows he's not going to win? Plus there's the whole controversy of how he's paying for it (Doritos?) and whether it's ok for Comedy Central to back one candidate. It's just so stupid really. It reminds me of when Arnold Scwatzen...however you spell it won governor of California. But he actually won. Which is crazy...but I guess when you have midgets and old movie stars running against each other, there's not much choice. The Presidency however, is a different story. Everyone else running is a legit candidate. All being in some position of political power...all having served a political office before. What's Colbert done? He's made people laugh on his fake talk show. Big Deal. Maybe he's watched Man of the Year a few too many times. You know, the movie where Robin Williams is a comedian on a talk show and runs for president and wins through a glitch in the voting system. Maybe Colbert is hoping for a glitch. I don't know but I think It's a waste of time and money and a waste of our attention. We should be focusing on the real candidates and getting familiar with their policies so we can vote for the right candidate in 2008...instead of being concerned whether Steven Colbert will get around the FEC laws about funding.

Steven Colbert is sooo fine. I don't think he would have much of a platform.

Okay random, but.. you know how Socrates was always thought to be so wise and always went around tell people they were dumb and questioning them, but never really knew anything for himself? Yeah, Colbert. I think he's just one of those guys that is really good at picking out people's weak spots and running with it... Not so much actually formulating new ideas. But he might be the lesser of evils. We'll see :)
