Politico is wrong; Steven Colbert has no ceiling

Seriously. Steven Colbert never breaks character, but if he did, he could say that he is just joking. The establishment media and the three branches of the Federal Government have no excuse for their idiocy.

Oh yeah! He's already bested Herman Cain--Romney next?

It was hilarious to watch Colbert cleverly skewer everyone in the room at the White House Correspondent's Dinner in 2006. On his January 12th episode of the Colbert Report, Steven didn't have to attempt to crack jokes at Politico White House Correspondent Mike Allen; Allen was the joke.

It was bad enough for Allen o tout his superiority over every other media outlet simply because he had an I-phone, Allen outdid himself by explaining the ridiculously poor quality of the "news" that he and his organization delivered via the "Internets."

Put your phone down, Allen. Nobody finds you insightful.

Five percent off those polled said they would vote Steven Colbert when he hadn't announced a candidacy! Five percent isn't a ceiling, that's a floor. That should be obvious. I remember back in 2006 when the establishment media called Joe Lieberman untouchable because only 13 percent of Connecticut Democrats would vote for Ned Lamont--but that 13 percent was more than double the six percent of Connecticut Democrats who knew who Ned Lamont was! A mere moment of analysis was all that was required to foresee Lieberman's rejection come primary day.

And the ceiling? Unlimited. After, South Carolina is an open primary, meaning Democrats and Independents are allowed to vote for Republican candidates. With no Democratic Primary next week, the number of votes Steven may get is dependent on how many South Carolina Democrats feel like raining on Mitt Romney's parade.



Granted, the South Carolina Primary is only a week away. And no doubt the usual nattering nabobs of negativism will claim that Colbert is a comedian and should not be taken seriously. But many of these people are the subjects of Steven's humor every night. It is they who are the joke. And on January 21st, we shall see who is laughing.
