Finally, Stephen Colbert is throwing his hat into the ring and officially announcing his candidacy for President of the United States.  Colbert appeared on The Daily Show last night and suggested he might consider considering a run for the highest office in the land, but then said he would make his official announcement on a "more prestigious show."  Then appearing on his own show, he made the big announcement amid a waterfall of red, white and blue balloons.  He went on to say he plans to file and run in South Carolina, his home state, and only in South Carolina, and will file for both the Republican and Democratic parties.

We suspected it ever since he took over Maureen Dowd’s column.
