Very Creative!!  

Many thought that Cain’s campaign was merely a performance piece, so it only seems fitting that Colbert’s mock campaign should speak through Cain.

Epic.

f—ing brilliant!

This show creates an oversimplification of all the issues of the day
condensed into little childish bits so his small minded audience can
have the perceived illusion of actually understanding the complex
issues of the day. It’s like the retarded political version of sesame
street to be frank.

His audience already knows about the issues.  I find his fanboys annoying as well but they are far from uninformed.

@Mark Prior:

Thanks for the self-serving rant, but Pew Research published a report a few years ago showing that viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last. Based on the fact-free nature of your post, methinks you’re probably a Fox fan.

As opposed to watching the GOP debates?

A perfect example of how hilarious Stephen Colbert is. ‘Let’s riff on the Herman Cain smile, but make it 3x as long.’

Oh man that is some good irony in that post. Well done Mark. I see what ya did there. You pretended to make fun of Colbert but are really making fun of the GOP candidates who have spent weeks now reducing complex issues of the day into oversimplified campaign buzzwords , trying to convince thier small minded audience,….well you can guess the rest.

Anyway, good job. Not sure I agree with the use of retarded though. That seems overly harsh, to actual retarded individuals.

So what does Mark Prior want – he wants money to dictate the agenda at the expense of the voter. Strange that such a superior mind can not grasp the simple fact that politician do not care about the voters- rather they care about who will finance their campaign.

Mark Prior – the reason why American politics has reached these absurdities is because Mark Prior and his cohorts are incapable of introspection, incapable of grasping the simplest of issues.

We all ready know about the issues, we just like to laugh at them

Oooo! Now Colbert has a ‘dog-whistle’ too! How neat! His says, “I want my beloved OBAMO to win, so do what you can to fracture the GOP field!”

That’s not the message I get from it.

ahahahhaha

Oh man. I don’t think any of the ads have been spectacular but I’m just happy that each is funny and excited for the next!

It is even more diabolically clever when you hear Colbert explain it on his show. SC does not allow new candidates to be written in, AND it can not take Cain off the primary ballot because Cain didn’t drop out before the deadline for changing the ballot.
So, Cain’s name is there, even though he isn’t running anymore, and the best part is that ANYONE who is registered to vote in SC can vote in the Republican primary. That includes Democrats, Independents, etc. ANY REGISTERED VOTER.
Expect to see Cain (Colbert) beat Perry, Santorum, and Gingrich! It could happen.

[This was directed at Prior, just FYI -- not Leto.]

Sweetie, you can believe that if it makes you feel superior. The rest of us are just going to have a good laugh.

That’s a whole different kind of humor. It’s the kind that has the potential to come back and bite us in the a$$.

Its satire Mark.  Persons suffering from mental retardation are far too pragmatic to care about your insipid observations…

Almost makes me want to live in South Carolina so I could vote…

Cain is out of the race for the same reason Sarah Palin never got in, the truth leaked out. He was the next version of her. The link in my name exposes the cover up

Who is doing the voiceover in the new commercial? It’s driving me crazy…

The commercials are just the cherries on the cake.  The real absurdity is the process by which those commercials are funded.

He picked up the term ‘dog-whistle’ about a week ago, and still hasn’t figured out what it means. 

it sounds like mandy patinkin to me

THATS IT THANK YOU

lol.. that slow smile at the end was perfect.. 

I like some of his show but this BUTT head stunt after stunt involving the election is really just really STUPID I have never seen anyone trying to get attention saying look at me, look at me with his pomposity syndrome.

I admire and enjoy the zings and mocks about the PACs and candidate goofyness, but there is such a thing as going too far and it becomes pure crap !  Except to the little young ones and the stoners. AND THE LITTLE YOUNG STONERS.

if you do not understand the humor then the joke is on you. American politics is a joke.

Wish they had a dislike link.  The last time I checked retarded didn’t mean stupid.  Ignorance is actually the greatest disability of all.

Love that smile

Stephen
Colbert is a comedian, and the other Republican candidates are bad jokes. Pat
Paulsen and Andy Kaufman tore down the gates, opened the door, and Colbert has
charged through the portal!

OK. You got my attention for a moment.
Feel better?

I bet Cain will get 15-20% of the vote. Colbert and Stewart have been sent here by the Gods to help bring about positive change in 2012. The Mayan Calendar says that 2012 is the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one! For sure, our political system has run out of gas and we need a brand new way to way to run our society. This is what the total collapse of the Republican Party and the near collapse of the Democrat Party is shouting at us.
