How about the All That Is Right and Good America PAC?
"Tonight we made history..." Mitt Romney after winning NH primary (all the while knowing that he was lying about the win in Iowa which no one in the media stopped to challenge at the time.)
Lie early, lie often....the hallmark of a great politician!
Brian - thank you. My hope in the media is restored ever so slightly. I apologize for my snarkiness.
That Gingrich is quite clever, ya gotta admit. Wily -- diabolically so.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:

The old adage never goes out of fashion: "Money talks; bulls**t walks."
the love of his life? that would be his rifle, no?
Since the pacts seem to be the result of the Supreme Court ruling, has anyone every polled the members to see how they feel about the results of their vote?
The most corrupt Supreme Court in US history. They are bought-and-paid-for criminals. Absolutely disgraceful. Disgusting.
Mel Brooks' classic still works: Engulf & Devour.
How about the Super Pac called:
"The Public Sector Government Unions"
or..........
"We st SEIU Elect The Politicians Who Give Us Raises and Our Generous Benefit Packages"
Thanks Bob, I was hoping thats how it is
... or maybe the "Stupid Pac Super Pac".
Oh, WNYC, make sure you talk about Priorities USA, Obama's Super PAC. Even if you just barely mention it so you can maintain your thin veil of "journalist objectivism"
I support MAPFAA - Moms and Pies for All Americans.
I would name my super pac, "Since you're all so stupid, I thought I'd better try my hand at this" super pac.
Mine is "Founding Fathers Rolling in Their Graves" PAC. I'm fairly certain this isn't what they envisioned for the future of our country.
The CU opinion is a perversion of system but if we're going to have congress should require all the names of donors over $5,000(individual and corporate). We require candidates to endorse their ads why not call out rich individuals and corporations.

I'm naming my PAC the Road Back to Freedom PAC
To Jeff from Dumbo: Colbert's tongue is firmly in his cheek.
Regarding the citizans united case and super pacs,
What a huge loophole for corruption and sleazy lawyer/ politician types to confound our Democracy.
However it is amusing to see the Colbert / Stewart non team play with the rules, only thing is I believe Jon Stewart is a free thinking / progressive / liberal, but isnt Colbert really a Republican? Or is it really a tounge in cheek exercise on Colberts part?
