Democats Deny Colbert's Candidicy

It is my sad duty to inform my readers that Dr. Stephen
T. Colbert D.F.A is no longer in the running for the presidency of the United States. The New York Times reported yesterday that the democratic party of South Carolina has officially denied Dr. Colbert's applicaton to be on the ballot. Colbert chose to run in his homestate of South Carolina as a democrat in order to save the extra $32,500 that it costs to be on the republican ballot . The South Carolina Democratic party justified their rejection of Dr. Colbert by saying that he has failed to meet two of their qualifications. The missed requirements are that he failed to actively campaign for the states primary, and that he be acknowledged as a viable nationwide candidate. The council decision not to certify Dr. Colbert, went through 13 to 3. This is a dark day in our country's history. Today, the nation mourns.
