Fun with federal election law
Do these look like the faces of people who've just violated campaign finance rules? VIDEO
(Credit: Comedy Central) The grand experiment launched late last week continues: Stephen Colbert is exploring a run for president, while Jon Stewart manages Colbert’s former super PAC — and enthusiastically smears the candidate’s would-be Republican primary rivals in the process. The problem with managing a PAC in support of your business partner’s campaign, however, is that not a whole lot of it feels legal. (Even if it almost certainly is.) That’s why Stewart and Colbert powwowed with their lawyer on “The Daily Show” last night — just to make sure their “good”-faith efforts at non-coordination were still strictly within the bounds of the law.
