Obama supporters have no sense of humor
It turns out that a couple of prominent Obama supporters were influential in the rejection of Steven Colbert’s name from the primary ballots in South Carolina. According to a CNN.com article:
At least one member of the executive council, who requested anonymity, told CNN he felt “pressured” by former State Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum to oppose placing Colbert on the ballot.
Tenenbaum, who ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, is a high-profile supporter of Obama. Her endorsement of Obama in April was touted by the campaign in May, and she has appeared at several Obama campaign events, including the opening of a campaign headquarters this summer.
Booooooo South Carolina, and Booooooo the executive council, this just cements my opinion that Obama is a tool (even though it was his supporters and not the man, I still think he is a tool by association). Special interests in politics is out of control in this country.

I think it was more of a fear that people might have actually voted for Colbert. But that’s just my opinion.
It’s true, the Obama campaign knows that the Colbert fan demographic is right up Obama’s ally, and they were afraid of losing support/votes. Chickenshit in my mind.
“tool by association” Now that’s funny right there.
Seriously though, the dictionary should change the definition for politician to “tool; douchebag; general unsavory character with questionable morals”
The more I say it, the more I like “douche nozzle” for politicians who deserve it. Anyone who messes with Colbert deserves it.
I am in complete agreement with you on this, as I say on my own blog. I’m sick of the politicians in power deciding who gets to run against them. Sounds fishy to me.
