colbert super pac

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

The commission’s ruling narrowly interprets what the comedian and Viacom Inc., the parent company of Comedy Central, can do with Colbert’s super PAC. [1]

A panel of six FEC commissioners ruled in favor of Colbert’s advisory opinion request, which questioned the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 whether his political action committee, Colbert Super PAC, is able to solicit and accept unlimited campaign contributions for the purpose of making independent expenditures from individuals, political committees, labor organizations, and corporations. [2]

If the Super PAC were to place advertisements on any other media, that would count as activity outside of the press exemption and Viacom would be required to disclose their payments to staff who worked to create the ads for both the Colbert Super PAC and the “Colbert Report” as in-kind contributions. [3]

In recent days, campaign lawyers of all stripes have weighed in on the legal issues facing Colbert’s super PAC, and the comedian himself had to hire a high-powered Washington election lawyer to try and resolve whether talking about his fundraising committee on his late night show, “The Colbert Report,” actually could create legal headaches for Comedy Central’s parent company, Viacom. [4]

Comedian Stephen Colbert promotes his new album in New York City last week. [5]

Comedian Stephen Colbert speaks to supporters on the sidewalk in front of the Federal Election Commission in Washington on Thursday, June 30. [6]

Stephen Colbert testifies during the House Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law Subcommittee hearing on ‘Protecting America’s Harvest’ in this Sept. 24, 2010 file photo. [4]

It gives him a shot at doing what political types such as Bush strategist Karl Rove and former Obama aide Bill Burton are already doing to finance TV ads — even if they are parodies on The Colbert Report — ahead of next year’s elections. [1]

Colbert was shy with quips as his adviser, Trevor Potter, former FEC chairman and a top lawyer for Sen. John McCain, volleyed replies to the commission’s questions. [7]

Post Forum members consistently offer thought provoking, timely comments on politics, national and international affairs. [...] But now the agency finds itself the target of a very public joke by television comedian and provocateur Stephen Colbert, who is set to testify Thursday on his tongue-in-cheek bid to form an eponymous “super PAC” for the 2012 election season. [8]

Stephen Colbert’s bid to launch a super PAC is no laughing matter, especially now that the comedian has won approval to raise unlimited campaign cash to influence the 2012 elections. [...] At issue is how corporations use their money for politics, stemming from a Supreme Court ruling last year that opened the floodgates to unlimited campaign funding by corporations, unions and wealthy individuals. [1]

Last month, late night comedian Stephen Colbert launched a “super PAC,” the newest form of political fundraising committee, allowing him to reprise his previous efforts to lampoon the outsized role of corporate money in American elections. [4]

Colbert has spent the last year poking at the FEC after a Supreme Court ruling in January 2010 erased previous limits on corporate and union spending to influence elections. [5]
