Colbert Reveals America's Biggest SuperPAC Donors (VIDEO)

SuperPAC: A frothy mix of lube and campaign funding that is sometimes the byproduct of politics.

On Thursday's "Report," Stephen Colbert gave a glimpse of how he plans to continue his comedic crusade against the "Citizen's United" ruling by revealing the names of the biggest SuperPAC donors in America, both corporeal and corporate. He then thanked those patriotic Americans for choosing our next president with their money.

But the SuperPAC fun didn't end there. Colbert himself has raised a cool million dollars, and he plans to use it, primarily for capitalizing on the newest planking craze. However, he was quick to point out that he himself is now practically synonymous with the word SuperPAC as far as google is concerned. But that's not enough. The host has now proclaimed, "I want the google recognition of a Santorum. I will not be satisfied until SuperPAC means, 'a frothy mix of lube and campaign funding that is sometimes the byproduct of politics.'"

We're doing our part to help. Check out part one above and part two below.

One of the individuals listed there is John Paulson. Paulson is a Wall Street guy who made billions betting AGAINST the subprime mortgage market. Basically, he profiting from the subprime meltdown.

From wikipedia:
"Paulson became a billionaire by short-selling subprime mortgages in 2007, and made $3.5 billion that year... $5B in 2010."

Okay, if you want a better source, read "The Big Short", by Michael Lewis.
It's a NYTimes non-fiction bestseller, all about the subprime crisis.
Paulson is one of the lead characters.

I'm not saying he's good, bad, evil, or a nice guy.
But shouldn't we know who is pouring money into these PAC's??
