Stephen Colbert is preparing to enter the South Carolina primary: ‘I’m doing it!’ The “major announcement” that Stephen Colbert promised this week has come to pass. He formally transferred his super PAC to Jon Stewart during Thursday night’s Colbert Report. In so doing, Colbert is able to enter the Republican presidential primary in South Carolina, his home state. (A campaigning politician is legally prohibited from simultaneously running a super PAC.) A graphic appeared on-screen screaming, “I’m doing it!” After consulting on-air with his lawyer Trevor Potter, it was agreed that Colbert could enter the Presidential campaign only if he passed off control of his super PAC to someone with whom he did not “coordinate.” No prob: Stewart sauntered onto his friend’s show, the lawyer produced two pieces of paper, the two comedians signed them, they joined hands and “activated” the transfer. Voila! Colbert is free to wreak his philosophy upon the Republican primary, while Stewart presides over the newly re-named “The Definitely Not Coordinated with Stephen Colbert Super PAC.” (click-through for full story)
