South Carolina Democratic officials decided not to let Stephen Colbert get on the primary ballot in his native state. He's the guy who poses as a conservative talk-show host on Comedy Central.

"He's really trying to use South Carolina Democrats as suckers so he can further a comedy routine," said Waring Howe, a member of the Democrats' executive council.

Colbert had said he planned to run as both a Democrat and a Republican -- so he could lose twice. But in the end, he didn't even file for the Republican race, which would have required a $35,000 filing fee.

"I understand you have to keep a club exclusive," he said on his show, "but I paid less for my black market liver."
