South Carolina Democratic officials have denied Stephan Colbert‘s bid to get on the ballot in his home state as a Democrat.
The Comedy Central funnyman, who plays a conservative on his show, filled out an application and paid the $2,500 filing fee on Thursday.
Forty minutes later, top party officials declined his application, saying, “He’s really trying to use South Carolina Democrats as suckers so he can further a comedy routine.” And Colbert “serves to detract from the serious candidates on the ballot.”
If Stephen really wants to run in SC, he can pony up $35,000 to get on the Republican ballot.
Do it. Don’t be a cheapo!
