Stephen Colbert For President

The talk show host/pundit/performance artist announces he's actually running for President (in South Carolina, at least).

The rumors and speculation are ture: It looks like he'll be running in the primary as both a Democrat and a Republican. This could explain Fred Thompson's sudden disappearance from the election scene. Only one fake candidate per election cycle, please.

Editorial note: Whoa! You've found a super-old post here on BuzzFeed, from an earlier era of the site. It doesn't really represent where we are anymore, and may in fact be totally broken, but we're leaving it up as a part of our early history.
