Stephen Colbert's First SuperPac Ad. The Man Is A Genius
Watch Stephen Colbert's first SuperPac ad

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/colbert-pac-launches-first-ad-asking-iowa-v

Stephen Colbert is a genius.
To win the Ames Straw Poll Rick Perry needs write in votes.
If his supporters misspell(and you know many will) his name by writing it Parry. The vote will probably still count because the intent is clear.
Colbert is promoting his own candidate by the name of Rick Parry.
All those misspelled votes will go to him
And it's legal
Genius

7. I think if Perry were to win with lots of Parry votes thrown in then the others
will have a total conniption fit. It will show that a conservative/liberal comedian put Perry over the top or at least increased his showing. Messing with their "minds" big time. If Perry were to win then people like Bachmann will really have to spin it.

8. First, and probably last...
SuperPAC I have ever donated to. Glad to see my money (and the husband's) go to good use!

Only complaint, I haven't seen my name in the crawler, yet. Probably missed it. :-(

10. So, did you ever see a "famous" name and wonder?
I can't remember which ones now, but I get all distracted wondering how many famous people have donated. Or, are they just normal people like us trying to confuse me?

I would've lost it if I had caught the "Suq Madiq" though!!!

11. My wife saw Kevin Kline and Harrison Ford one night. The next night
she saw Abraham Lincoln. Grain of salt. Grain of salt.

12. Two questions
One is Parry a real person? and two will the votes for him go to Perry?

I guess I don't get the joke...

15. I didn't either
I watched it and didn't get the point or the joke. So what if a bunch of people write in Parry instead of Perry. They might have done that anyway.
