What started out as satire just turned into a reality.

Comedic commentator Stephen Colbert was granted permission by the Federal Election Commission to form the Colbert Super PAC (political action committee), and promote it on his show -- as long as he only uses his show to promote it.

"There will be others who say, Stephen Colbert, what will you do with the unrestricted super PAC money?" Mr. Colbert told reporters after the F.E.C. hearing. "To which I say, I don’t know. Give it to me and let’s find out."

A political action committee is a private organization that is allowed to indirectly contribute funds to political campaigns.

    Did you mean 'astigmatism'? That would at least kind of make sense. Still not very funny. Rather juvenile as well. Much the same as everything else you've spewed here. You open up with "i just puked in my mouth", proceed to insults and the inevitable Obama as messiah comment. Then you have the gall to call others juvenile. Too predictable. Lame. Will was right. You are a jackass. The most telling part is that it's all over a minor joke. How petty.

    I started with a minor joke, and yes, jokes can be juvenile, much like everythng else you all have put on here. Somehow its only juvenile when I do it? typical leftist. Oh, and correcting a typo is also juvenile, by the way. Jackass.Petty jackass at that.

    Nope, because obviously you live and die by this site, so same goes to you too.Rewind to the beginning, I didn't start with the insults, poor kids can't take their own medicine on a website ain't my problem---lighten up for one. If I think the thought o Colbert and Stewart as Pres makes me sick I'm perfectly in my right to say so. Start attacking ME for it, and it's fair game. Also, believe it or not---typos happen all the time and in different ways. Just bc I hit a sequence of keys that change the spelling of a word means nothing ESP if one is on a smartphone. The fact that you take that out of my statement just further shows me how small of a person YOU are as well. Why don't you report me to big brother for "picking on a kid". Loser. If I'm blowig out of proportion just know that I wasn't the one that first basically told someone to keep their opinions to themselves on an OPINION site.


    I'm a Christian, yep .perfect? No, not by far. Do I say and do things wrong? All the time. Yes I'm in the military too--so I think that also gives me a little room to talk about who I'd like to rum this country and what I think about talking heads as possible candidates.


    It started as a joke "Telly" , and I responded with one. It was ypu and yours that got salty first, so go lick your "f*ckwittery", and block me if you don't like what I have to say. It's no skin off my back.

    Oh, but I thought this was a joke? According to your buddies it is. So by that token, I'm allowed to make "jokes" too right? Like "vomiting in my mouth"

    Just quit while you are only behind a little.

    Placing the word "intellectuals" in your comments, doesn't fool anyone - can't hide your lack of same.
