If anyone has mastered the power of using humor to make a (sometimes ridiculous) point, it’s Stephen Colbert – and it seems that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is following in the footsteps of the late-night comedian.

Pelosi released a short video on Thursday going after the host of “The Colbert Report” and his super PAC, in which she accuses Colbert of receiving money from special interest groups — and hating kittens, among other things.
“Stephen Colbert used to be my friend,” Pelosi narrates solemnly through black-and-white photos of herself with Colbert. “I even signed the poor baby’s cast when he hurt his hand. But since the day he started his super PAC, taking secret money from special interest, he’s been out of control — even using his super PAC to attack my friend, Newt Gingrich.”

I wonder if Jon Stewart (controlling the PAC) or Colbert himself had anything to do with this ad.
After all, Colbert started this PAC to educate his audience and make a point. Using his own PAC to attack his own position seems just his style!

#4 - Fri Feb 10, 2012 2:29 PM ESTColbert is back in charge of the PAC. Since he didn't get the position for President of the United States of South Carolina, he can assume control of it, once again.
Sometimes, I think this whole thing has been crafted since day one, other times, I think they are going with the flow and reacting to what is happening in the moment.
Either way, it's hysterical, and an excellent civics lesson!
