Oh the humanity ! It could have been so easy. It could have ended in SC !
... but too many people just sat on their butts under the palmettos.

Colbert suspends Cain campaign, but Stewart keeps the Super PAC

Quote:

The sad part came when Colbert made a major announcement.
With a heavy heart and a spastic colon he announced that he would be
re-suspending Herman Cain's suspended campaign, and officially ending
his exploratory committee to run*for President of the United States of South Carolina.

Colbert went on to thank his committee members -- NBC's own Chuck Todd,
Will Smith as Bagger Vance, "Criss Angel: Mind Freak," and affectionately
-- his roll of quarters for the laundry he hasn't done in a month or so.
<snip>
The announcement begged the question -- what will Colbert do now?
Take back the Super PAC, of course!

Unfortunately, it appears Jon Stewart has gone rogue.
Stewart sent this note to The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC supporters,
via The Huffington Post:

Quote:

Dear Super PAC Super People,
Hey, it's Jon again. As you know, a while back, I took over this Super PAC
so that my friend and business partner Stephen Colbert could explore possibly
running for President of the United States of America of South Carolina (maybe).

Unfortunately, he never connected with voters, despite nearly a week of part-time campaigning,
culminating in a massive rally at the College of Charleston.<snip>

Today he asked me if he if he could retake control of
The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC.
I told him, with all due respect, to go take a long walk off a short go-f%¢#-yourself.<snip>
