On Vacation

Stephen Colbert has been on vacation for three weeks. Somehow America has endured the boredom. But tonight he's back.

I have so many questions. Did he take this vacation just so that he could grow his hair longer? Was he talking to Governor Sanford about resigning? Was he advising Joe Wilson to hold his tongue when the President speaks to Congress? Or was he just doing some hiking? One can imagine that the real reason was to explore his options with regard to political office. He did briefly consider running for President back in 2008, but when it became obvious that obstacles such as time and money would get in the way, he dropped that idea. And yet, the office of Governor looks appealing. He is a South Carolina native, so he's got that going for him.
