 The ‘Colbert Bump’ = $$ for CandidatesPosted on Mar 4, 2008
You know you’ve hit it big when you’re the topic of an academic study on the media. As it turns out, there’s a demonstrable effect known as “the Colbert bump,” which entails a boost in campaign cash for politicians who make a stop at “The Colbert Report” while on the campaign trail. Translation: Stephen Colbert can count on a full dance card for, say, the next few decades. Watch the clip: Elsewhere: . CommentsAre you a Truthdig member yet? Login now, or register with Truthdig.

The reason Hillary won’t go on the Colbert Report is that it would be too difficult to stop Stephens ‘right wing’ agreement with all her positions. There’d be ‘Thank You’s adn Atta Girls’ flying out of His mouth- she probablay would really get a word in edge wise. She has been a great Republican while inthe Senate, and what she’s done for Privatizing the Armed Services was a Corporationist Dream! “Stephen” would have to tell her SHE IS HIS GIRL!A Corproationist, just wearing blue- what a great disguise Hil! The Ol’ Switcharoo - Infiltrated the enemy camp and now have them following you like lambs (to slaughter)-Brilliant!

Nazi gold is going to be the next “where’s the beef” slogan. There is comedic brilliance on the Cobert Report staff of writers.
Beware of Nazi Gold!
