‘Colbert Report’: Stephen Gets His Super PAC

If Sarah Palin can have her own PAC, so can Stephen Colbert. After all, they’re both fake news generators, right? On Thursday, Colbert celebrated the official launch of his Super PAC—which, TPM Muckraker points out, goes by another funny name—in his usual modest style, assembling a crowd of admirers and reminding them, “I do not accept the status quo ... but I do accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.” That’s some democracy right there.  —KA
