The Ever Talented and Beautiful Michelle Obama Takes on Stephen Colbert

I can't help but be impressed every time I've heard Michelle Obama speak. I love seeing this side of her. It will a great thing when she becomes our next First Lady. Class, style, honesty and concern for everyday people. I love it!

Alt: "He's just jealous because everyone's up in the attic listening to Stephen Colbert."

This one just about killed me! Go Writer's Guild!

[Update] Craig41 of The Side Track tells us The Daily Show and Colbert Report will be back Jan. 7th, sort of.

[Update 2] Stephen Colbert has been chosen as the AP celebrity of the Year.

In receiving this award, I am pleased that I was chosen over two great spinners of fantasy — J.K. Rowling and Al Gore. It is truly an honor to be named the Associated Press’ Celebrity of the Year. Best of all, this makes me the official front-runner for next year’s Drug-Fueled Downward Spiral of the year. P.S. Look for my baby bump this spring!

A Sad Day For Democracy

Sadly, I must report that Stephen Colbert has been denied a spot on the South Carolina Democratic ballot.

Both the Republican and Democratic parties of South Carolina declined to include comedian Stephen Colbert on their primary ballots for Jan. 19 and 26, respectively.

Apparently, Mike Gravel is considered a more "serious" candidate than Colbert.

If Stephen Colbert ran for President, would you definitely vote for him, definitely vote against him, or would it depend upon who he’s running against? *

Gravel's 1% somehow trumps Colbert's 6%?
