The Tygrrrr Express (http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/tygrrrr-express/) by Eric Golub (http://communities.washingtontimes.com/staff/eric-golub/)

CHARLESTON, SC, January 21, 2012
The politically liberal white Stephen Colbert and conservative black Herman Cain each referred to the other as the "brother from another mother." Yet the real takeaway from the event is the bizarre set of circumstances that caused it to exist in the first place.
Stephen Colbert tried to get on the South Carolina ballot but was unable to do so. He is a well known comedian, and his testimony before Congress irritated many members when he offered to show pictures of his colonoscopy for reasons only he understood.
So Mr. Colbert is the candidate without a spot on the ballot. Mr. Cain is the man still on the ballot despite dropping out as a candidate. So Mr. Colbert asked his supporters to vote for Mr. Cain as a proxy vote.

Well if we can't laugh at ourselves who can we laugh at.
