An interesting question, if he is really filing for President.

t has become something of a cliche: politicians launching their electoral campaigns on late-night talk shows, in a calculated attempt at hipness.
But a late-night comic announcing his presidential candidacy on a late-night talk show - now that is a hall-of-mirrors maneuver worthy of Stephen Colbert. The man known to viewers for his portrayal of a fulminating right-wing blowhard said on Comedy Central on Tuesday night that he will be a candidate in his native South Carolina.

Colbert, who in real life is a Democrat, said he would file papers to run in both parties' primaries.

It is hard to take the guy seriously in any event, but if he is going to make a run, shouldnÂ’t the equal time rules apply across the board?
