Stephen Colbert
Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born May 13, 1964) is an American comedian, satirist, actor, writer, and Presidential candidate known for his ironic style, particularly in his portrayal of uninformed opinion leaders and deadpan comedic delivery. As his popular conservative pundit character, Colbert announced on October 16, 2007 that he would seek the presidency in 2008, but would run only in South Carolina - his native state. Colbert has never run for elected office. (More at Wikipedia)
