Now, if Jon Stewart would interview Clint Curtis, people may start understanding the difference between voter fraud and ELECTION FRAUD dragging main stream media along. Who knows what can be accomplished with murdoch's disgrace!

This, from my CLOWN-GOD of POLITICAL SATIRE, made me SQUEE and grab my fella by the lapels (yes, he wears lapels) and practically baby-shake him with pure joy and relief of national coverage for our cause celeb.

I have a recuring dream about Stephen Colbert visiting me as an Angel of the Lord. He gives me the sweetest forehead kisses, and is rapt by my every word.

I just know he's listening to us, somehow...

COMMENT #4 [Permalink]
... Rick H. said on 7/25/2011 @ 2:14 pm PT...

And after you ram through a voter ID law, close the DMV offices in Democratic districts and extend the hours in Republican ones.
