Spreading The Truthiness

Stephen Colbert kicked off his presidential campaign in his home state of South Carolina on Sunday.

The Comedy Central funnyman made an appearance at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

Stephen got the key to the city and was proclaimed South Carolina's favorite son by Mayor Bob Coble.

The host of The Colbert Report, recently announced that he would be running for President in 2008 but only in South Carolina. His plan is to run on both the Republican and Democratic ticket.

Colbert was honored to receive the key to the city and said he "loves South Carolina, almost as much as South Carolina loves" him.

Stephen also says that if he is elected as President, he promises not only to crush the state of Georgia, but also Tennessee.

Colbert for president!

What pisses me off is that no one told me he was coming, otherwise i would have woken up in time to go to this ..FUCK.

Georgia is a rival and so is Tennessee, that's why they will be crushed for those wondering. Especially considering the game last night we had against Tennessee. GO COCKS!

Re: emily –
emily, you do realize ron paul is only registered republican so he can actually be elected to congress since our country hates third parties.
ron paul is a lifelong libertarian…and he's against the war in iraq, against out-of-control spending, and totally supports individual liberties that have been taken away by W.
get educated before you spew stupid comments…it's not flattering.
and yes, i have written a political comment on perez's site.
i'm sure this is way over the heads of many people, but the lack of knowledge of current events and politics by young people is depressing.

p.s. what make ron a "psychopath?"

"Blackout" is out on TUESDAY! Look at all the positive reviews

Yahoo.com

""Blackout," her first studio album in four years, is not only a very good album, it's her best work ever - a triumph, with not a bad song to be found on the 12 tracks."

People.com

"…there is plenty of hot music for dancing one's troubles away on Britney Spears's new album, Blackout, her first studio CD since 2003's In the Zone"

Msnbc.com

"Against all odds, Spears' album is her best. On 'Blackout,' Britney emerges confident, sensual and in control… Listening to “Blackout” is not only an energetic release, it’s also a relief: No, Spears hasn’t completely lost it, and yes, her career has a flicker of fire left — actually much, much more."

Usmagazine.com

"…the CD shows that, overall, Spears still has sparks in the recording studio."

Re: Sean Awesome –
so what is up with the Ron bashing on this thread?
i think sean read emily's post and since he knows nothing of politics, he just typed ron's name.
i'm guessing he doesn't even know who else is running in either party.

p.s. ron isn't even polling in the top 3 list of republicans in SC, so direct your anger towards actual scary people like Rudy, Romney, and McCain.

Re: anja – "What does he think about imigration? taxes? health care? schools? privatising?"
Immigration: He suggests we build a huge wall and pay for it by selling advertising space on it
Taxes: None except maybe for the losers who can't afford an accountant
Health Care: Piss off and pay for your own. And don't die in anyone's gutter if you can't afford it because that's littering and your corpse will be arrested. Mr. Colbert is not soft on crime.

I find it disgusting that a rich and powerful woman like Angelina Jolie can control whatever is in the media about her. I think she is total baloney phoney. This morning: "Shall I dress as a white person today with white make-up, or should I look like myself–nah, let's pretend I'm something else, let's see what I can buy?" Has anyone seen a picture of Maddox recoiling away from her? Is that child-like intuition? Could you believe that the bad post about her was removed? My God, it must be all true! If you don't spend a lot of time reading the tabloids she pays for, you can look with no bias. Clear as the sky.

He's the best man for the job!! Which is both really funny, but sad at the same time when you think about it. (lol) But I adore his show. Him and the Daily Show with John Stewart are my evening television watching staple every night. I rarely miss a show.

Colbert is a riot! His quick, twisted wit is a breath of fresh air. I just love this guy and his ridicule of the laughable Republican contenders. The Republicans are almost - not quite - as irritating as the people who go to the comments section of this website to post comments completely irrelevant from the topic mentioned. I say kudos to Colbert and I join him in his support of Hillary in 2008!

It is satire, but I think we need to consider RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!! He is not a psychopath, like comment #6 tried to indicate. He is a man of integrity that actually follows the constitution, he has a voting record to prove it. Anyone who supports Hillary is supporting a hawk and power hungry politician!

A perfect a presidential candidate, the one who really represents democrats, independents and republicans….A dream come true!

But before I give my vote to Colbert I have the following question for him:

Are you willing to invade another country, torture, wiretrap calls to suspected al Queada, or assassinate terrorists in order to stop a terrorist attack on the US?….

If your answer is no, I can't vote for you, because your position makes it easier for terrorists to kill Americans.

Re: Jesus Christ – you are clearly the one who needs to be educated on politics. Ron Paul is a bigot, against any type of gay rights at all, promotes home schooling (what a freakin joke) and supports that the bill passed to keep guns out of nut cases hands be revoked, case and point "carrying a firearm in the National Park System" be allowed by ALL!!! Those are just a tip of the ice burg on this nut job!!!!

Thank God Mr. Perez Hilton put the post back up on page 7.

WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO HAVE A POPULAR SITE THAT BOTH YOUNG AND OLD COULD GO TO, TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE NEWS OF THE WORLD? YOU WOULD BE A GREAT PERSONAGE. AN INFLUENTIAL MIND OF THOUGHT AND MORALITY.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING, MR. PEREZ HILTON. THANK YOU.
