When the going gets silly, the silly get going. Stephen Colbert, the ultimate exercise in personal branding gone horribly amok, is possibly running for President. The reigns of Colbert SuperPAC have been turned over to Jon Stewart, who immediately asked the most important question – “Does anybody know where the key to the Super PAC bathroom is?”
It had to be turned over to Jon because what matters in SuperPacLand is that there is no “coordination” between the candidate and the PAC. If that seems awkward, consider that “awkward” is a synonym for “uncoordinated”, so there you go. And now Colbert is free to pursue an exploratory campaign to possibly run for President, maybe.
That’s what our political system is today – a kind of performance art.
