Political Sex

Stephen Colbert’s Super PAC (Political Action Committee), called ‘Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow,’ has raised over a million dollars. Is he “showing the loopholes” of our system, or just seeing how far he can go? I think the answer is… who the hell cares.

At least this will ensure we get a lot more Colbert style attack ads like the one above. And I can guarantee that he’ll make a big show out of how the Super PAC will spend the last dollar.

There are some notable donors, or so says The New York Times:

Donors listed in the 147-page document include Gavin Newsom, the lieutenant governor of California ($500). A representative from Mr. Newsom’s office confirmed in an e-mail that the lieutenant governor had in fact donated to the super PAC. Some celebrities’ names also turned up in the filing, including the actors Laura Sangiacomo, star of “Hot in Cleveland” ($250), and Bradley Whitford, a star of “The West Wing” ($250) — naturally. Mr. Colbert also received money from a Rolling Stones tribute group called “Sticky Fingers Band” ($400).

Gavin Newsom has confirmed on his twitter:

When I was helping Gavin out with this radio thing he was doing (that’s why I feel comfortable calling him Gavin and not disrespectful for not using his title) he really was a pretty funny guy. I realize there is absolutely no point in this blatant name dropping, but there never really is, is there? Is there!? Didn’t think so. Yeah, in your face!
