Colbert suitable for Presidency?

We have it on quite good authority he is. Whose authority? Stephen's, of course! Here's a recollection from Poynter Online's Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark:

During the last presidential campaign, Stephen Colbert, as I recall, satirized this tendency by declaring his own suitability for high office as the son of French "goat turd farmers."

So, Stephen was way ahead of the curve, as always, noting his own suitability for high office long before anyone else noticed.

Update: Indeed, Stephen was so far ahead of the curve, that he apparently is even more suitable than the son of French goat turd farmers. Here's a slightly different recollection from much closer to the election at Notes From Atlanta.

Rarely does anything make me fall on the floor laughing. The Daily Show did last night. The report was on Edward's son of a millworker and Gephardt's son of a milk man humble beginings. But who could possibly top Obama's humble orgins as a son of a goat herder? From my memory, Steven (sic) Colbert:

"Well Jon, I am the son of a turd farmer and the grandson of a goat ball licker.
....
Yes Jon, a goat ball licker. You see, in the old days the most important thing was to keep the goats happy. The easist way to to that...

Indecision 2008

Comedy central has Stephen Colbert's stealth 2008 candidacy website up and running now at indecision2008.com.

Looking at one of the pictures, I'd have to say they should really change the name to decision2008.com, because this picture just screams (and not even under torture) "I'm the decider"


















Stephen Colbert wants YOU! (to vote for him for President)

Dick Cheney - America's Scariest Authoritarian Leader says vote for Stephen Colbert for President

Lest you forget - Dick Cheney has vowed not to run for President to clear the way for Stephen's candidacy according to a high-ranking administration official, who prefers to remain anonymous so the Vice-President doesn't eat his liver with fava beans a nice Chianti. Moreover, as revealed in the Angler series in the Washington Post, he is clearly America's scariest authoritarian leader.

And really, people, you don't want to be on the bad side of America's scariest authoritarian leader (though if you do, go here).

As Stephen says, this
is never not scary.

The election is officially over, people.

Stephen has a new endorsement in 2008. The big Kahuna. The Alpha. The Omega. The omniscient, the omnipotent, the omniprescent one. The most powerful being in the Universe. (No, not Vice President Cheney)

That's right. God wants Stephen Colbert to be President of the United States (and you'll note how he also hinted that Stephen is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything by signing the petition at #42. Need we say more?

For those photojournalists who were sleeping on the job, one of the staffers here at SCFPOTUS caught the moment on his cellphone camera.

Stewie Griffin gives up quest for world domination, perhaps settling for being the man behind Stephen Colbert's throne

One of the most serious contenders for President/world domination (face it, its pretty much the same thing now), Stewie Griffin, has bowed out, endorsing Stephen Colbert for President of the United States at #27 here.

I'd say that kind of clears the field of major contenders for world domination, no?

And really, what's better than the open endorsement of and backing by a Machiavellian genius.

Can he do it? Duh!

A new endorsement that should win over the different trade unions (the working man knows who is on his, or HER, side - its a modern world, after all).

That's right, Bob the Builder, has come out in support of Stephen for President, displaying his trademark confidence at #1695 here:

1695.

Bob The Builder

Stephen! You must run for president! Can he do it? Yes he can!

Colbertocrat

We have but one quibble. Seriously, Bob, it's not even open to question. Can he do it? Well, duh.

President Bush names his successor: reaffirms his nomination of Stephen Colbert for President

Many a political pundit has commented on the unusual predicament the 2008 election forms for many voters - without a incumbent president or vice-president running, who is the lazy voter to vote for without having to read or think.

Well, as always, President Bush hears the cries of the common man. And he, in his wisdom, has appointed his successor, Stephen Colbert at number 1338 here.

Indeed, in his eloquent wisdom, he says:

1338.

George Dubya Bush

He would be much betterer than myself's own person.

And, since President Bush is not just a great but the greatest President ever (the only two choices really), and President Bush, who is never wrong, has said that Stephen is the betterer of the two of them .... that would make President Bush only the greatest President ... so far. And, by the transitive property, would make Stephen Colbert the greatestest President ever after he is elected unanimously in 2008.
