ABCnews.com is out with a report raising serious questions about the legalities of faux-newsman Stephen Colbert’s, Doritos sponsored run for the White House.  At first glance it’s hard, actually near impossible to take Colbert’s Democrat and Republican campaign too seriously, but apparently that won’t stop the Federal government.

"The Federal Election Commission doesn't have a great sense of humor," said Massie Ritsch, director of communications for the non-partisan, Center for Responsive Politics.

Federal law bars corporations from contributing to candidates and while media organizations are allowed to cover campaigns, no precedent exists for a televeision network to promote the candidacy of one of their talk show hosts according to Lawrence M. Noble, a former general counsel for the Federal Election Commission.

"The real problem comes in the fact that he actually has his own show, talking about his campaign, paid for by a network," Noble said. "These are the kind of things on slow days you'd debate until the late afternoon at the FEC, but there are serious questions that come up. In theory, he could end up having some campaign finance problems."

This from the same agency that couldn’t that could find any wrongdoing on the part of the infamous Clinton/Gore ’96 campaign that took in bags of cash from poverty-stricken nuns and Chinese donors! 

Maybe instead of spending lazy afternoons worrying about a comedian playing the part of a Presidential candidate, the FEC could be looking into Hillary Clinton’s money laundering scam in New York’s Chinatown, where busboy’s at Chinese restaurants are donating the max to her campaign.  I know, I know, she’s cornered the market of the poor downtrodden busboys, who are struggling to pay New York City rents, but have an extra two grand lying around.
