Challenge: Colbert Administration

[Aranfan]

I've been reading Nobody Dies.

Your challenge is to get Steven Colbert into the White House as POTUS, with Jon Stewart as VPOTUS.

[nota]

I want john as world leader
the annoying coldbear can be a vice pres
and yes I know he is faking the rightwing BS

[mowque]

Have a random POD in 1920 or something and just butterfly it.

2010:

Fox News, fed up with their multiple defeats at the hands of "the Daily Show" and "the Colbert Report", execute the "mother of all hostile takeovers". Wealthy shareholders and Michael Steele discreetly grab a majority of shares in Paramount studios; they use the leverage to gain control of Comedy Central and eliminate three long standing avenues of entertainment and liberal temples: South Park, the Colbert Report, and the Daily Show.

Public outrage burns like nothing seen since the Vietnam War; but the shows won't return.

Although financially secured and with nothing to proved, Trey Parker and Matt Stone resurrect South Park on the web; while Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart take their rightful places in politics; to strike back at the partisan empire. Colbert wins the South Carolina Gubernatorial election after an amazingly massive write-in campaign, while Stewart wins the special Senate election to fill Hillary Clinton's seat, both as Democrats of course.

Stewart and Colbert quickly become the stars of the party; Governor Colbert revitalizing South Carolina's economy and leads a progressive movement for education in the south, while Senator Stewart becomes a major mover and pusher; helping to acheive solid immigration reform, a balanced budget amendment, and a new, efficent space program.

Parker and Stone are on an unrelenting offensive against the right wingers and shredding the taboos through the uncensored internet.

However, near the end of 2014, P&S begin streaming a new viral movement: Colbert & Stewart for President.

Long story short, Senator Jon Stewart and Governor Stephen Colbert are nominated for President and Vice President at 2016 Democratic Convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. However, Stewart and Colbert proclaim themselves as "co-presidents", sharing power and responsibilities as constitutionally as possible.

The twisted two win the election with all but two of the 54 states: Arizona and Texas, which go to former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Bob Jones university president Michelle Bachmann.

OF course, there was another significant event that took place that election night; attendants at a run-down retirement home south of Dallas-Fort Worth checked the room of one Karl Rove to find a massive puddle of fatty...goo in his bed.

I'm hoping this is not actually serious... right?

[jack_donaghy_is_the_shado]

It's about as serious as Lindsay Lohan's attorney...

[jack_donaghy_is_the_shado]

oh and our four new states are our puerto rico, columbia( the former district of columbia), jefferson (chunks of oregon and california), and franklin, superior, or malta

besides...do you know what the GOP is doing with your money?

You need to add the Scientologists to the cabal, as the Scientologist throw in Fox News to crush Comedy Central after the way South Park lampooned Scientology. This results in Tom Cruise and Kirstie Alley actively campaigning for Palin. The Colber/Stewart campaign stirke back with some sort snarky but hilarious against Palin and her outrider Cruise that goes to the heart of the issue such as, "They're not crazy. Not much. No, they are [censored] wingnuts." As usual, Colbert and Stewart back this claim with facts, and the public agrees.

The public then concludes that Fox News is truly nutz as Greta Van Sustern, the Fox News in-house Scientologist, has a total melt down from the fair and balance attacks on Tom Cruise and Kristie Alley by Al Franken.

Hilarity ensues.

In 2012, Colbert demands that his fans write in his name for President as a joke. But things get out of hand...

If Colbert were to come back to life and miraculously win a landslide victory in the presidential race, I would think that Protectionism would also work out.

Avoid the Vietnam War and the two would go through different life experiences and end up with different careers. Instead of growing up in a time where everyone didn't trust the government they grow up in an environment where the government can act a bit incompetent at times but anyone could fix that with some hard work. So they end up joining the government instead of satirizing it.

[tinoking]

I thought he met Colbert the character

Hm. Social conservatives apparently have abysmal rates of being able to tell that Stephen is making fun of them... he could get a lot of votes because of people who know him as "that guy who pretends to be joking about loving Bush." Never underestimate the importance in the political process of people's total inability to understand sarcasm.
