talkpoliticsPelosi takes on Colbert
"The Alice in Wonderland state of American politics has just reached a new level.
Nancy Pelosi, the stately, serious former House speaker released a video satire Thursday going after comedian Stephen Colbert for his super PAC.....
At the end of the video, Pelosi gets to her serious point. She is promoting the so-called DISCLOSE Act, which House Democrats are reintroducing Thursday. The DISCLOSE act would among other things require more transparency by super PACs in terms of who their donors are."
HAHA! Great idea, Nancy "We Have To Pass This Bill So We Can See What's In It" Pelosi! But I'd still give that vid B for concept and C for execution. Surely the almighty Democratic juggernaut (who controls the liberal media, har har) could afford something way better than that, amirite? Nice try, though. I'll give you that.

Now what's left is to see how Colbert picks up this stunt and where he goes with it. He made a terrific point about the ridiculousness of the campaign donation system (super-PACs) through his elaborate series of jabs and sketches, and even the staged candidacy for "President of the United States of South Carolina" last month, which highlighted some serious flaws in the whole election system. Undisclosed money in politics and all that. Maybe if he could expand on that by bringing Pelosi's "challenge" to a new level, he could raise even more awareness on the subject. (Not that it'll change anything though, I don't think).
On a side note, political ads are always SO funny!
Except, I'd surely be glad if someone could tell me what the purpose of this was supposed to be, but I'm going on tangents now. ;)
