Fellow feminist blogger from Louisville

This just in: we've been teased (in a really affectionate way, imo) by Lauren, a feminist blogger from Louisville. Here's what she had to say:

Hey Ladies,

I hope you all don't get mad about this, but I've been following your Feminists for Colbert blog for a little while. I have a blog that's connected to a weekly newspaper in Louisville, KY and I'm sort of their token Feminist blogger. Also, I tend to write a lot about Stephen Colbert.

So, please don't get mad. I wrote a blog about you all and that guy at Comedy Central Insider who made those nasty comments. But, I kind of poked fun at you all, too. So... Don't take it too seriously. Just thought you'd like to know. Here's the link to the blog.

Hope you all don't hate me. I was just trying to be funny.

Love your blog by the way.

Lauren

We don't hate you, Lauren! We know that you love us. In fact, we think that guy at Comedy Central might love us, too. The jury's still out on how Stephen Colbert feels about us.

According the The New York Times: S.C. Democrats Say No to Colbert

"GREENVILLE, S.C. — The momentum of the Colbert presidential campaign hit a cul-de-sac today when the South Carolina Democratic Party decided he wasn’t a serious candidate and turned down his application to get on the ballot.

...the party’s executive council just voted 13-3 not to certify him.

Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the state party, told us that the council “really agonized over this because they really like him, they love his show and everyone thinks it’s wonderful that he cares about us.”"

Stephen Colbert, we still love you here in Charleston, even though you've stood us up like 50 million times so far and you still haven't gotten in that skirt for Skirt Magazine.

Don't tell anyone, but this feminist is still waiting by the phone for you.

Breaking News!

Stephen Colbert is in Charleston. On a carriage. Dressed as Uncle Sam. Give me one hour and I will track him down and force him into a skirt.


We are on to you, Stephen Colbert. See you around lunchtime, say, Market Street?

Heartbreaking guest post from Sticky Fingers!

Chad Walldorf of Sticky Fingers wrote in today with this heartbreaking news:

I feel terrible for not letting you know before the fact but thought it better to hear from us....our shared idol stopped by to Sticky Fingers on Saturday night to pay homage to his portrait(s) and do some politicking....I've attached some photos. He worked the room - even kissed a baby - gave a funny stump speech extolling the virtues of South Carolina's barbecue, shrimp, and peaches, did a short interview with me and then sat down to have dinner with his extended family (in-laws and siblings included).

The coolest thing was that the table next to him was a table of guys from the Air Force who were visting a buddy stationed in Charleston - he brought them in to see the portrait cause they were huge fans of the show and they obviously got way more than they bargained for. I told Colbert so he bought them a round of drinks and then took pictures with them so they were completely stoked. The only thing missing were the Feminists for Colbert and I apologize for not having thought to let you know he was coming. I'm hopeful that they will be back and if so we will try and let you know in advance of the visit.

Chad

Okay, Chad, because you wrote so nicely to tell us this news yourself, we'll forgive you on one condition: ribs, Chad, we need RIBS! You know there's nothing feminists like more than delicious barbecued ribs! Well, equality between the sexes--but second to that, it's ribs.

And just wait 'til we get our sticky fingers all over that unfaithful Stephen Colbert, who came to Charleston and didn't even seek us out.

My Heart is Broken!

Everyone here at Feminists for Colbert was REALLY REALLY excited about this coming Saturday as Stephen Colbert was going to be at the College of Charleston for Rock the Vote, but today he canceled! How could you do this to us Stephen!? We were making a banner for you, hoping for a hug, waiting for you to sign our copies of I am America (and So Can You), and Margaret was going to force you to wear a skirt in Skirt! (see post from 10/23/07).

The only thing that can stop our flood of tears and collective sighs is for Stephen to wear that skirt in Skirt!

It's Official:

to get on our ballot, you need to get in our skirt:
(or our skirts...)

do it Stephen, do it!

Would all FFC fans please post this wherever they can - on their own blogs, lesser Colbert fansites, college bulletin boards - we need to show some skirt+Stephen luuuuurvve.
