USA - Stephen Colbert for President

[jerbles]

I don't know if any of you watch The Colbert Report or the Daily Show (comedy central) (I sure as hell don't), but I just heard that Stephen Colbert was running for president, so I read up on it (this is for the US '08 elections).

Apparently, he came on the Daily Show a while back (oct somethin), which airs right before his show, the Colbert Report, announcing that he was gonna consider whether to officially announce running for president on his show. Of course, he did. Clips can be seen probably on youtube or someplace.

I don't know if I can post the link or not, but just look up colbert 08 or something. He said he was gonna run only in South Carolina. I really don't know much about the elections, but he also said he would run as a democrat and a repulican, which I don't think is possible(?). I think he was actually denied or something, but it was obviously just some stupid joke or a publicity stunt.

If anyone knows more, please elaborate. I was just wondering what some of you swiys out there think would happen if a comedian actually became the president of the US (aside from us being mocked by every other nation).
