Colbert: All of Toontown is in the tank for Barack David Edwards and Muriel Kane

Published: Wednesday October 22, 2008





Print This Email This Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert reported Tuesday on the looming menace of ACORN and the dire threat it poses of Mickey Mouse actually showing up to vote.



At the last presidential debate, John McCain called ACORN's voter registration drive "one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."



"ACORN has conducted a huge voter registration effort, and not all the registrations are valid," Colbert explain, noting that of the 1.3 million voter registrations collected by ACORN, some are duplicates while others have obvious problems, such as being filled in under the name of "Mickey Mouse" or "Donald Duck."



ACORN insists that this would not amount to voter fraud unless Mickey Mouse showed up somewhere to vote.



"Nation, we cannot let Mickey Mouse vote," pleaded Colbert in his fake-pundit persona. "He's obviously an Obama supporter."



Colbert proved his point with a recent photo of Obama in Florida holding a set of Mickey Mouse ears with his name embroidered on the front. "Let's face it folks," he stated. "All of Toontown is in the tank for Barack."



"Nation, we must make sure cartoons don't vote," continued Colbert. "I say the simplest way is to drop an anvil on the head of every voter. If a single lump rises out of their scalp and little birds start circling their head -- we nab them for voter fraud. If their skull is crushed, they can go ahead and vote."



"That might still let through some imaginary voters," Colbert fretted. He insisted that all newly registered voters should be considered suspect because polls show 65% of them planning to vote for Obama.



"We may not be able to make all these fake new voters real," concluded Colbert, "so we have to make all the real new voters fake -- by getting rid of all new registrations. We'll just go back to when we knew every vote was legit: 2004."
