Colbert Makes a Pitch for His Sister's Campaign

Updated

Stephen Colbert's sister, running for a South Carolina congressional seat, got a shout out from Stephen Colbert on "The Colbert Report." It's a non-endorsement endorsement, as Colbert says, "As a broadcast journalist, I am obligated to maintain pure objectivity. It doesn’t matter that my sister is intelligent, hardworking, compassionate and dedicated to the people of South Carolina."

Update: Colbert is wading further in to Democratic politics, as he's scheduled to be a guest at the House Democratic retreat on Friday, Politico reports.
