Colbert Touts Sister's Congressional Campaign
Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert is not the only one in his family with an eye on politics. His sister, Elizabeth Colbert-Busch, is running in the upcoming South Carolina 1st District special election. On Wednesday, Colbert took some time on his show to shine some national spotlight on his big sister’s campaign.
“No free airtime, Lulu,” Colbert said, referring to his sister by her childhood nickname. “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.”
Colbert-Busch, who is running as a Democrat, faces an uphill climb in the GOP-leaning district. President Obama won just 40 percent of the vote there last year.
Colbert offered some advice to Republicans who might end up in a debate with his sister. “This is how I used to win a lot of arguments with her when I was a kid,” he said. “Right after she makes a good point, repeat it back to her in a dumb voice.”

Fox News to Shut Down For Routine Maintenance Monday Morning At 11:30
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Fox News Channel announced today that it would shut down for what it called “routine maintenance” Monday morning at 11:30 E.T.
Fox News president Roger Ailes explained the timing of the shutdown, which will be the first in the history of the network: “We wanted to pick a time when we were positive nothing would be happening that our viewers would want to see.”
Mr. Ailes said that Fox had considered shutting down only once before, exactly four years earlier on January 20, 2009, and later regretted the decision to continue broadcasting that day: “It turned out that no Fox viewers wanted to watch TV that day. And I mean none.”
According to Mr. Ailes, for the twelve hours Fox News is off the air on Monday the network will broadcast a continuous photomontage of white people.
“Regular viewers of Fox probably won’t notice anything unusual,” he said.
After the routine maintenance is completed, Mr. Ailes said, Fox News will return to the air Tuesday morning with its regular broadcast schedule: “For Fox viewers, it will be like Monday never happened.”
