    Stephen Colbert Claimed He Would Stumble Around Columbia, The Capital, Like, Pantless With A Bottle Of Jack Daniels And Try To Get Arrested; TERRY GROSS: So I always have to ask myself when you do that, when you're either on the ballot or have a surrogate on the ballot, like is that going too far? Is that actually injecting it into the voting booth in a way that might actually change the results of an election?

    STEPHEN COLBERT: I mean if I actually thought I would change the results of the election, I think I would - I would think I was going too far, but I never for a moment thought I would change the results of the election and I think I was right. TERRY GROSS: Because you wouldn't get enough votes to make a difference? STEPHEN COLBERT: No, I would never get enough votes. TERRY GROSS: With elections being so close in some places? STEPHEN COLBERT: Not in South Carolina. TERRY GROSS: Not in South Carolina. STEPHEN COLBERT: Just the Republicans. I don't know what to say. TERRY GROSS: Yeah, right. STEPHEN COLBERT: You know, even in - even four years ago when I was running in 2008 in South Carolina and really sincerely like tried to get on the ballot, if I was doing well, I had a plan of how to drop out, which was that I was going to have a scandal. (LAUGHTER) STEPHEN COLBERT: I was going to like... TERRY GROSS: Oh, I'm sorry you didn't get a chance. STEPHEN COLBERT: I know. Wasn't that exciting? I would've been wonderful. I wanted to like actually go down to South Carolina and like stumble around Columbia, the capital, like pantless with a bottle of Jack Daniels and try to get arrested.

COLBERT: Bill, you know you've got to play the game that the media elites want you to do. OK? Some places you can draw the line. Some place you can't. You and I have taken a lot of positions against the powers that be, and we've paid a heavy price. We have TV shows, product lines and books. OK? It's not the price we pay.

    Colbert Had His Pronunciation Of Ts Surgically Removed To Sound More Pretentious. The name is spelled the same way, its just that I had the pronunciation of all my ts surgically removed. It was very painful, but it was worth it because it sounds more pretentious that way.
