Not only is his "Not Anything Remotely Related To Stephen Colbert SuperPAC" making a complete mockery of how our reformed election process works, the two ads he's produced attacking Romney (with the great John Lithgow narrating) and Gingrich (with the great Samuel L. Jackson narrating) are absolutely flat-out brilliant.
The Romney ad: (first segment)

The Gingrich ad:

Mitt Romney is a serial killer (of jobs).

(9,696 posts)Have you watched those episodes? The full episodes are streamed on Comedy Central the day after they air - they're my lunch time entertainment. You can follow the whole Pac story. It's making for some good comedy.

Chris Matthews had to have it explained to him (by Kornacki -- spell?)
