The FEC just ruled that Stephen Colbert could go ahead and start his Super PAC.
From CBS:
Colbert, who plays a conservative TV pundit on "The Colbert Report," traveled to Washington to present his case for launching Colbert Super PAC, a type of political action committee that would allow him to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, unions and individuals to support or oppose candidates in the 2012 elections through independent expenditures such as TV ads.
"Colbert Super PAC will also pay usual and normal administrative expenses, including but not limited to luxury hotel stays, private jet travel and PAC mementos from Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus," Colbert's lawyers wrote to the commissioners.
"This is not just about the cash," the comedian said during Wednesday night's episode of "The Colbert Report." "I will also accept credit cards."
This should be interesting.
Gotta run out to the store to stock up on Doritos.
