Video:Stephen Colbert Runs For President

stephen colbert runs for president

stephen colbert announced his candidacy for president on "the colbert report" on tuesday night, tossing his satirical hat into the ring of an already crowded race.

"i shall seek the office of the president of the united states," announced colbert on his comedy central show, as red, white and blue balloons fell around him.

shortly before making the announcement, colbert appeared on "the daily show" (the show which spawned colbert's spin-off) and played cagy, claiming he was only ready to consider a white house bid. he entered the studio set pulled by a bicycle pedaled by uncle sam and quickly pulled out a bale of hay and a bottle of beer to show that he was "an average joe."

colbert said his final decision would be announced on a "more prestigeous show," which turned out to be his own.

"after nearly 15 minutes of soul-searching, i have heard the call," said colbert.

colbert said he planned to run in south carolina, "and south carolina alone." the state, one of the key early primaries, is also colbert's native state. late last week, south carolina public television station etv invited colbert to announce his candidacy on its air.

exactly how far the mock conservative pundit planned to stretch his impression of a presidential candidate wasn't clear. colbert rarely breaks character on camera, including at his memorable speech at the white house correspondents' association dinner last year.

the comedian said he would run as both a democrat and republican. he earlier explained the strategy: "i can lose twice." he claimed three running mate possibilities: colbert-huckabee, colbert-putin or colbert-colbert.

minutes after announcing his presidential pursuit, colbert welcomed cbs political analyst jeff greenfield to ask how he had changed the race.

"this is going to be one for the books," said greenfield.

Video:Stephen Colbert 's DNA To Be Sent Into Space

stephen colbert 's dna to be sent into space


article submitted by solarabyss.

new york - should this world ever cease to exist, stephen colbert will live on.

the comedian's dna will be digitized and sent to the international space station, comedy central was to announce monday. in october, video game designer richard garriott will travel to the station and deposit colbert's genes for an "immortality drive."

"i am thrilled to have my dna shot into space, as this brings me one step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001," colbert said in a statement, referring to the 1968 landmark science fiction film "2001: a space odyssey."

garriott, one of few private citizens to travel into space, is collecting material for a time capsule of human dna, a history of humanity's greatest achievements and personal messages.

the host of "the colbert report" will essentially be preserved so that aliens can clone him.

"in the unlikely event that earth and humanity are destroyed, mankind can be resurrected with stephen colbert's dna," garriott said in a statement. "is there a better person for us to turn to for this high-level responsibility?"
