He’s an experienced campaigner, he can debate, he’s from the South, he can raise money; and, if change is the goal, who better to turn Washington on its head? This is my case to convince you to convince Obama that he needs to choose Colbert for Veep
As we all know Stephen Colbert ran for President in South Carolina, or at least he tried to. So, he’s got some chops that will serve him well, especially since he’s just running for Vice President. After running for President, running for Vice President will be like fighting nuns, only not quite as dangerous.
He can debate. Don’t believe me, then answer this question. Have you ever seen Colbert lose a debate? I accept your apology. Colbert has a wit every bit as quick as Muhammad Ali’s fastest invisible punch. He can twist words into verbal nooses, give you those nooses and then convince you hang yourself with your own rope.
Being from South Carolina, Stephen Colbert is a native son of the South. What’s more, he grew up Catholic in the South. Who else are Southern Catholics? Latino’s. He’ll land us the Southern white vote, the Catholic vote and the Latino vote. Plus, I hear he’s somewhat of a ladies man... never mind, I’m thinking about Steve Carrel.
Speaking of Mr. Carrel, one thing a President looks for, when considering a VP, is his/her ability to raise money. Colbert is a proven money machine with his wrist strong bracelets and shameless hawking (Stephen Hawking?) of corn chips. I don’t have to mention the brand, you probably have had one of their sharp edges caught in your throat. If Colbert still needs money, he can always ask the 40 year-old virgin.
Finally, if change is the goal, who better to turn Washington on its head than Stephen Tyrone Colbert? Choose him as VEEP and the town will never be the same.
I rest my case.
