With the whole running for both parties thing Colbert is doing, I really hope we get to see both sides of him. This election will be the most hilarious ever if Stephen turns his act on and off depending on wether he's at a democratic or republican crowd. Then we can hold a one man debate, where 'TDS' Stephen can argue with the 'Report' Stephen. What's great is that this guy is funny enough to pull it off.

"Arnold for President"

I live in North County San Diego and after witnessing three days of the current disaster in San Diego county and not see that all of the pitfalls of governtment that happened in Katrina occur in San Diego you have to take your hat off to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He performed a minor miracle through his relentless attention to the details. (Future President take notes. This is how it's done)

What people forget is once a politician "gets elected" they're supposed to fulfill the duties of the office. Govenor Arnold Schwarzeneggar did just that.

Call the Navy and ask them if they can take that Mission Accomplished banner out of mothballs.

Colbert's candidacy is reminiscent of that of comedians Pat Paulsen and Dick Gregory who ran in the1968 race in which Nixon, Humphrey and Wallace were the major contenders. Neither Paulsen nor Gregory got a significant number of votes, but Paulsen persisted and ran again in 1972, 1980, 1988, 1992, and 1996. Both Paulsen and Gregory were at least semi-serious in their campaigns while Colbert has already announced he wants to lose, but at least it will be much more fun to watch the proceedings with Colbert in the race!

PAT PAULSON [LAUGH IN] WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER AND HAD BEEN ON THE TICKET FOR MANY MANY YEARS TILL THEY REQUIRED 10 MILLION TO BUY YOUR NAME ON THE TICKET
