It's official. Stephen announced Thursday night that he is not running for President in 2012. Ah, but then he left it wide open when he added, "Or am I?"
While some might imagine that would be a good thing, think about it. Would he be able to do "The Colbert Report" if he was elected President? I don't think so. Better to have Stephen stay doing what he does best and leave the presidency to Barack Obama.
Moving on. Mike Huckabee was on the show last night. Remember way back in 2007 when Huckabee got the Colbert Bump from Stephen Colbert? Huckabee went on to win Iowa. (For those of you who are not political junkies, that does not mean that Huckabee actually won the state of Iowa and got to take it home with him. It really means that he did very well in the lead-up to when the Republicans picked a candidate.)
Huckabee also has written a book, a simple one I assume since the title is "Simple Government." Stephen says it's a Tea Party Book and he would know because he is, of course, Stephen Colbert. There's a quote that comes to mind.
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

The Intelligence of Chinese Toddlers
As you may know, Chinese President Hu Jintao is visiting the United States. Sasha Obama even had the opportunity to practice some of her Chinese language skills that she has been learning in school. This was a nice opportunity for her to put her education to a real world test and at such a young age!
Moving on. Rush Limbaugh was confused by the Chinese that he heard from President Hu Jintao. He was confused even by the translation, not knowing if it was an accurate in each and every detail. He even wrote down some of it and repeated it for his followers. I don't think he had the accent quite on the mark yet.
Stephen Colbert of course had a translation of what Rush Limbaugh had said on his radio show. Something about doughnuts and also something about cats. Stephen played it for his viewers on Thursday night's show.
It's too bad that Rush can't understand what was being said because millions of Chinese toddlers understand the Chinese language perfectly, thank you very much. It's not as if I'm saying Chinese toddlers are more intelligent than Rush Limbaugh. I'm just saying that Chinese toddlers can understand what Hu Jintao was saying and Rush Limbaugh cannot. Does that mean a three year-old Chinese girl is smarter than Rush Limbaugh?
