A Certifiable Outrage
This is an outrage. How dare the Democrats refuse to certify Stephen Colbert for the presidential primary in South Carolina? He had the money. He has the name recognition. On what basis do they rule him out?
You say because he’s a comedian. Well, okay but if he were a serious actor like Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan or Arnold Schwarzenegger (Oh, bad example of serious actor), Colbert would be okay? Is this the usual prejudice against comics and why comedies seldom get Academy Awards?
If our political parties start deciding who gets on based on seriousness or intelligence, there will be no candidates. If they base this on Colbert revealing the process to be a sham and a farce and a mockery, they’ll get found out anyway.
If we start refusing to certify candidates who are clearly certifiable… Well, never mind, fill in your own joke here. Anyone who wants to run, needs to run and is willing to raise the money and submit to the public proctoscopy certainly ought to be certified.
