Stephen Colbert Promises To “Crush The State Of Georgia” If Elected President

October 29, 2007

As a resident of Atlanta and a big Stephen Colbert fan, I feel a little conflicted here:

Look out Georgia.

Stephen Colbert brought his fanciful presidential campaign to the campus of the University of South Carolina on Sunday, telling several hundred sign-waving fans that he’ll take care of the rival state to the south.

“I promise, if elected, I will crush the state of Georgia,” the 43-year-old actor-comedian said to the cheering crowd.

He also went on to compare the fruit offerings of both states:

The Comedy Central talk-show host — who made “truthiness” a commonly heard word — also proclaimed the dominance of South Carolina’s produce.

“Our peaches are more numerous than Georgia’s,” he said. “They are more juiciful.”

I’m originally from Ohio though, so the peaches thing doesn’t really bother me so much.

I really am looking forward to the South Carolina primary now, something I would definitely not have said a month ago. And we promise, coverage of the Stephen Colbert push for South Carolina will be the only 2008 presidential news you ever see at Top Socialite. We promise.
