Listen up, America. If there's anyone out there that can teach a thing or two about running a successful Super PAC, it's Stephen Colbert. The host of "The Colbert Report" is currently spearheading a successful PAC movement and generating interest in the organizations, according to Congressional website TheHill.com. He is also generating more Super PAC buzz than some of the current GOP candidates.
Remember the Super PAC kidnapping fiasco between Colbert and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart a while ago? After that debacle, it?s no wonder that the interest in the matter hasn?t quelled. Considering his influence, as Colbert explains, it also comes as no surprise that a student from the University of Texas wrote a letter detailing his "overwhelming urge" to start a Colbert Super PAC organization at his school. And so, the extension of Colbert?s political tentacles begins.
Colbert dubs the new organization at the University of Texas "Texans for A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow," and he doesn?t stop there.
His generosity extends to every college in America so they can have their own Colbert PAC. In his infomercial voice he explains: If you have a burning desire for civil engagement -- and $99 to spare, then you can have the Colbert Super PAC "Super Fun Pack" ? a do-it-yourself guide to creating your own Super PAC.
In it you?ll find all the necessary legal documents to create one ? which is really just one sheet from the Federal Election Commission. Getting the guide from the PAC, as opposed to free online ? Colbert explains ? would spare you the awkwardness of having loved ones see the FEC come up in your browser history. Also included in the nifty pack is a hand-drawn instruction manual, an Allen wrench, a "Turtles don?t like peanut butter" T-shirt, a sign that reads "If the Super PAC is caucusing, don?t bother knockusing!", a pair of Colbert Super PAC tube socks, and to top it all off -- the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans, which can be used to solicit donations.
And just think, all those goodies for a mere $99!
