Well, since he completely forgot how to be funny he might as well go into politics.

I always wondered when these guys would run out of ideas... Interesting clip of him though. Comedians have feelings too! +15 for Misbehavior and Mr. Zen.

That's what is wrong with the country. Sure people think Colbert is a funny guy (I particularly think he is a no talent asshat), but he would make a horrible President. It would sicken me to think even a single person would vote for him as he as no political experience whatsoever other than being a host of a parodiable political talk show.

Vote for the right person for the job - not someone who is just "popular".

 

Well there are a number of things wrong with this paragraph:

1. This is what makes the U.S. the U.S. Anybody can run for President. Do you really assume we take that right away simply so politicians can stay politicians?
2. I don't, and probably you don't know exactly what Colbert's political background is. Just for the record, though, any Political Science major could run this country with the right cabinet.
3. Maybe something like this is what the U.S. needs. I'm not saying specifically him, but we do need something different. The republicrats can't fix our country when all they care about is pushing their own agenda.

It is obviously a joke by the way. Although it does throw in a very good candidate for a protest vote, when the election comes by.

im gonna have to call BS on the underlined statment as both the parties push their own agenda. i think colber would be great mostly because i agree with his ideas. also if you have ever watch his show he is a very smart person. basicly if a democrat becomes presdient we pull out of the middle east and then they bomb us here.

This is a joke and should be taken as such, no need for anybody to be a stuck-up prick about it. Anyways, his whole purpose is to show everybody any random person with at least some form of celebrity status and/or money can throw their hat into the presidential toilet...and do nothing but steal votes from other candidate, like Independents.

I'd vote for him.

Why? Because quite simply regardless of party all of the candidates are worthless. I might as well get some amusement out of a joke vote as a protest of that.

Who knows, maybe if by some utterly freak chance he manages to win there will be changes. By choosing someone outside of the normal political circles maybe the parties will finally get the idea we are feed up and finally offer us someone worth a damn in the next election.

How am I on a high horse when I want a qualified candidate for President? There hasn't been a good president in this country since Reagan.

So a realistic candidate with a similar background to Reagan... might be Clint or Arnie?

Get off your god damn high horse and look at it like the joke that it is.

Already saw the movie, Man Of The Year,  with Robin Williams in it. I quite like the idea of civilian politicians, career politicians seem to entrenched in our government.

Colbert doesn't actually act like that, it's a character he is portraying on his T.V show.  If you ever saw an actual interview, where he was not acting in that manner, you would see he is a very intelligent, down to earth guy. I don't know how he would fair as a politician, because I am sure some members of our government are sort of wishy-washy towards him.

If he does run for office, I see it as something similar to Man of The Year, people aren't neccisarily voting for him, they are voting for a change  because they are unhappy with our governments current status. I hope he does run, and actually makes some sort of splash against these "well-qualified" oppositions.
