Colbert for President. |
If he could run as Colbert for President, and 'none of them' would be on
the slate to vote for counting it as for Colbert, he would be our next
President.

D.C. CONFIDENTIAL
Does 'Colbert '08' Break Federal Law?
Ever the publicity hound, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert must
understand that no real presidential campaign is complete without a
scandal. But does he know that if he succeeds in using his show to
help him score a slot on South Carolina ballots as a bona fide 2008
contender, he'll also violate federal campaign law?
An expert with experience in several prominent Republican campaigns
says it looks like Colbert's getting a corporate contribution from his
Report in the form of air time and production costs-that's prohibited
by the Federal Election Commissions Act. "It's something that I could
see people raising," said the former strategist. "If I was running
against Colbert, I would raise this as a campaign issue."
Viacom, parent company of Comedy Central, has been down this road
before with the Showtime reality program The American Candidate, a
program about fake presidential candidates in the 2004 elections. In
that instance, they got their hotshot Washington attorneys on the case
and asked the Federal Election Commission to provide an opinion as to
whether or not the show fell under the Federal Election Commissions
Act. The FEC said the show was good to go, but with strong reminders
that corporations cannot make "any contribution or expenditure in
connection with a federal election" and that "any cost incurred in
covering or carrying a news story, commentary or editorial by any
broadcast station (including a cable television operator, programmer,
or producer), newspaper magazine, or other periodical publication, is
not a contribution unless the facility is owned or controlled by any
political party, political committee, or candidate."
Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions owns The Colbert Report, but clearly
Stephen runs the show. In other words, he's toast.
While a possible violation of a sketchy law by a maybe-real, book-
promoting faux pundit isn't the sort of thing Bob Woodward would
tackle, it does give fodder to those who fear Colbert might be this
election's Ralph Nader.
A Comedy Central spokesperson declined comment.

Colbert for President, COLBERT, SUPPORT with a SONG:
A "U.S. DEPARTMENT OF PEACE"
(Quote): "On September 22, 2005, Senator Mark Dayton
(D-MN) introduced S. 1756, "which would establish a Department
of Peace and Nonviolence" headed by a Secretary of Peace and
Nonviolence, who would be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the United States Senate. The Department of Peace
would be dedicated to peacemaking and the study of conditions
that are conducive to peace. S. 1756 would also establish a Peace
Academy, which would be modeled after the American military
academies and would offer a four year concentration in peace
studies. Finally, the bill would designate a national Peace Day. S.
1756 was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs. I will keep your thoughts in mind should
the full Senate consider legislation related to this issue."

PBS Audio Interviews with Mike Gravel & Ron Paul - NO attacks on Iran!
How much can your Constructive Wisdom Principled Communicated Ideas be worth to America & the world?
If President Bush "unjustifiably" bombs the huge number (hundreds) of identified targets in Iran, there could be an oil shortage causing a global economic catastrophe. Could your effective communications stop this tragedy from happening? How many lives & Trillion Dollars would that be worth?
There's nothing more unjust or terrorizing than modern warfare & it is totally self-defeating. Depleted uranium used has a life of 4.5 billion deadly years.
It is time to create a "Department Of Peace" that will preempt the Department of War camouflaged as the Department of Defense.
Protecting our Homeland in a defensive mode should be our goal.

Yes, probably you would be. Maybe I could be too. But the system is
rigged by the two parties. You have the choice between an imperial
aggressor, like Giuliani or an imperial warrior like Hillary.
