PAers for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow SuperThread

AManFromEarth

For those who don't know (also breaking news, the Earth is an oblong spheroid and the sky is usually blue), Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow--better known as the Colbert SuperPAC, has been chugging along on for a while now, gathering money. Run by Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, the Colbert Report host has been using all the tools of modern politics to hang them by their own rope.

Here are a few of my favorites out of his long list of shenanigans:

Rick Parry:

So I saw this on CNN today:

I've got to wonder, is this the end game that the Colbert SuperPAC has been leading up to?

Yes.

I absolutely love this quote: "If nothing else good comes from this, we have at least narrowed down the exact value of sanctity — somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000."

Reminds me of a Churchill tale: At a dinner party one night, a drunk Churchill asked an attractive woman whether she would sleep with him for a million pounds. “Maybe,” the woman said coyly. “Would you sleep with me for one pound?” Churchill then asked. “Of course not, what kind of woman do you think I am?” the woman responded indignantly. “Madam, we’ve already established what kind of woman you are,” said Churchill, “now we’re just negotiating the price.”

This was a great article about Colbert, with some focus on the SuperPAC.

Why isn't there ominous background music in the Pelosi ad?
