Inglis on Colbert

Rep. Bob Inglis of South Carolina’s “Fightin’ Fourth” District took to Comedy Central’s Colbert Report Wednesday night as the 50th installment of the show’s 434 part series “Better Know a District.” During the interview, Inglis was “grilled” for providing “faulty umbrella intelligence” to President Bush in a letter he wrote about the [...]

Colbert interviews Sanford

Former presidential candidate Stephen Colbert interviewed Gov. Mark Sanford to launch a new spin-off segment called “better know a governor.” Sanford, who Colbert referred to as “the most boring U.S. governor,” was grilled on the Confederate flag issue and Bar-B-Que.

Colbert gets a sand sculpture

Former almost presidential candidate Stephen Colbert was among the few candidates immortalized in sand at the Republican and Democratic debates in Myrtle Beach over the past few weeks.  And by “immortalized” I mean the chamber of commerce secretly created a sculpture of someone who may or may not be him that will soon be washed [...]

S.C. Democrats and viability

THEY SURE GOT IT RIGHT
VIABILITY, S.C. (TPS) – It’s rather humorous that the South Carolina Democratic Party Thursday denied Stephen Colbert from appearing on their presidential primary ballot in January, despite his paying the requisite $2,500 fee and filing the proper paperwork.

Brad Warthen thinks he has the Colbert market cornered

WRONG!
STEPHEN COLBERT’S FAVORITE BLOG, S.C. (TPS) – We’re big fans of The State’s Brad Warthen, but we were a little upset that we didn’t get an invitation to Sunday’s “Stephen Colbert Brunch” following the “Key to the City” event on the USC campus. Actually, we’re not that mad because it turned out to be [...]
