What a sham. S.C. Dems reject Colbert candidacy. This isn't about entertainment, this is about people actually caring about civics again. I thought it was great when Colbert brought the paperwork for getting on the ballot out and filled it out on air. Colbert is providing us with a tongue-in-cheek, down-to-earth civics lesson. Yes, it's also a thumb in the nose to those in the establishment who have no wish to have the details of their arcane practices understood.
The beauty of Colbert's treatment is that the man himself is incredibly intelligent and detail oriented; in combination with being funny, he's a great teacher!
