The Super PAC formerly run by Stephen Colbert, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, has released its first ad to air in South Carolina this week.
Colbert announced Thursday on his show on that he would run for "President of the United States of South Carolina" and handed off control of his Super PAC to fellow comedian Jon Stewart.
The ad riffs off Romney's "corporations are people" line from this summer, saying that if Romney's record at Bain Capital is considered, then he'd be a serial killed — creatively dubbed "Mitt the Ripper" by none other than John Lithgow, the narrator.
We've reached out to the Romney campaign for comment on the ad.
The Super PAC's release is below:
Dear Super Pac Super People,
Hi again, it’s me, Jon. When I took over this Super PAC, I had no idea there’d be so much email-writing. Also, there are a lot of plants around Super PAC office with extremely specific watering schedules. Seriously, does a Northwood Spotted Fern really need to be watered "thrice fortnightly at dusk"?
Anyway, The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC made an ad, and I figured you’d want to know. I’ve attached the press release below, so hopefully your mouse’s scroll-wheel isn’t broken.
Sincerely,
Jon Stewart
President For Life For Now
