Well done South Carolina it-getters and/or morons who take Stephen seriously. I can honestly say I did not see this coming. I can’t wait to hear the big announcement. That man’s just full of surprises!

“Well done South Carolina it-getters and/or morons who take Stephen seriously.”

I like that you covered both sides of the coin in that compliment.

“It-getters and/or morons” Ha! That sentence catches the essence of my favorite quote about that state: “It’s to small to be it’s own sovereign nation and it’s to big to be an insane asylum!”

Can I just say, special guest Andy Cohen rocked! I would not complain if Stephen got in touch with his “Sex in the City” self more often (I believe that’s what he was spoofing there). Fantastic that having “great hair” was Stephen’s rational for overcoming his lack of Mitt love. Of course, a man who can get a construction hat stuck on his head, yank it off, and still have nary a stray lock knows the power of great hair I guess.

Oh, and holy *&%@ I can’t even say I did a fist pump at Stephen’s non-announcement. It was more like a double-noodle-armed-flail.

Tip of the hat to George Stephanopoulos for bringing Stephen some J.D. The audience loved it!

Mr. Stephanopoulos seemed to have an awfully hard time not bringing the conversation back to Stephen running for President in S. C. Who could blame him?

Favorite Part:

G.S. There is one man who could beat him in South Carolina.

S.C. I know, George. I shave him every morning and I’m not gonna reveal who that man is.

You got it, Kris-it was totally “Sex and the City.” Hilarious and brilliant!

If Stephen runs in SC, he has to be a write-in. It’s too late to get on the ballot properly. He can do Florida, however.

Whew, I was going out on a cultural limb there as someone who’d only seen the show a few times.

Aw, and here I was fantasizing that he’d secretly arranged all of this long in advance and was just cluing us in now. Seriously, it’s sad but I was:) Regardless, if “Stephen” is running in his mind (or gut) that’s all that really matters to have a good time. Facts shmacts.

Can’t have kept it quiet, because you need a certain number of petition signatures to get on a ballot. He’d have had to be public about it. (In any case, that’s generally how you get on the ballot. I don’t know if SC is different.)

I loved “Sex and City”-on TV, anyway. The films (or film, because I only saw the first one) weren’t up to the show.

Yes, I figured that it probably would have been impossible for him to hide in my brain but my gut said, “he can do it”. Strangely, in this instance my gut sounds just like Rob Schneider from The Waterboy.

You’d probably laugh at me but the main reason I ever tried to watch the show was because Dean Winters, who played Ryan O’Reilly on HBOs OZ at the time, was on it. Unfortunately, Dean (sorry Dean, I LOVED you on OZ buddy) was not that great on the show but I did get a few laughs out of the SITC ladies.

Great show! Bless Andy Cohen and that hilarious segment. “What. a. b***h.” HA!

I can only imagine how happy Stephen was when he found out that he was beating Jon Huntsman. The complete unpredictability of this show is entirely why I love it!
