Colbert on Morning Joe: endorses (in all seriousness) Ron Paul

[eqcitizen]

Did anyone check out morning joe this morning? A friend just called me up and told me that in all seriousness, after cracking jokes about every other candidate out there they asked who he would really want as the nominee. He responded "Ron Paul" because he is consistent.

Did anyone else catch this, and seeing as though i didnt see but was only told it by a friend, hopefully someone can get a youtube or corroborate my story?

Edit:

I definitely want a Tube of that. Not that I don't believe the OP, but I need to see it to believe it!

Then he should stop telling SC to vote for Cain and vote for Paul instead.

Like i said, i was just told this by a friend...hopefully it is true.

But I think Colbert says cain because it is funny and it goes along with his whole schtick. It seems like he rarely brakes character and if he did in this case it may be pretty cool to see.

It's weird when Colbert breaks character. He speaks completely differently. It's really a testament to how good he is at what he does that it's "weird" to see him being himself. He's also über-smart, which becomes more obvious when he isn't acting. I've only seen a couple videos of him "as himself", they're hard to find, and he's only done 1 serious interview that I know of.

If he really did that it'd be great.

He really did break character at the end there and he seems genuinely honest. Thanks for the video

They spun this story like it was a joke. He looked sincere to me!!!

 

[Chieppa1]

Um, what's with the video title? "Ron Paul joke"?

 

[Rincewind]

Good stuff.

Also that's a fantastic joke.

[LawnWake]

Wow, he totally did break character there. That was great.

 

[PastaRocket848]

Not exactly an "endorsement" by any means. Still cool though.
