Stephen Colbert to become next president in Marvel Universe

[0ni0n]

Americans will vote for the next president of the U.S. this week, either Barack Obama or John McCain. But in a parallel universe, another presidential nominee has attracted a following.

The candidate: Stephen Colbert, the 44-year-old Comedy Central talk-show host. His platform is Marvel Comics, publisher of comics such as "Spider-Man" and "The Hulk." From fictional rallies to posters and stickers, Marvel Comics has spun a presidential race spanning over a dozen of its titles in which Mr. Colbert has been on a grueling 10-month campaign to be the next president.

In summary, unparalleled awesomeness!

I prefer Colbert. Stewart is a dick IRL, Colbert is a nice guy.

Stewart actually believes the shit he spouts, and what he spouts is scary. He would nuke the world to save Israel.

Colbert is great, and much more clever. I love the "Formidable Opponent" segments.

Colbert's probably a cooler guy, but The Daily Show is wayyyyy funnier than The Colbert Report

[Tricen]

Eh, Colbert gets annoying too fast. He's like the guy that does the "Nou" over and over again, and gets his point across by (annoyingly) disagreeing with you.

He would nuke the world to save Israel.

lol? someday you'll have something nice to say about jews. won't hold my breath though.

[Lordwafik]

where did he even mention jews?

Israelis =/= Jews

[Blarg]

Best thing about the daily show is the parts with correspondents, and those are somewhat hit and miss this past while.

[Rhinox]

where did he even mention jews?

Israelis =/= Jews

Read between the lines its obvious a knock on jews if you know anything about churchill. Stewart = jew Israel= jewish country. really not that hard.

[Sythe]

well you have to remember that when Stephen Colbert does his show he's actually playing a character who is also named Stephen Colbert.

[Kuya]

I prefer Colbert. Stewart is a dick IRL, Colbert is a nice guy.

I thought it was the other way around.

Obligatory.

[Churchill]

No problem with Jews, problem with Israel.

[Plow]

Israelis =/= Jews

Excuse me?

[Lordwafik]

what?

Jews are not the only faith of people in Israel, despite the heavy bias towards them there.
