Stephen Colbert Will 'Rock You Like A Herman Cain'

Try as he might have, even transferring his "definitely not coordinated" super-PAC to pal and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart couldn't get Stephen Colbert onto the South Carolina presidential primary ballot.

That would be the bad news. The good news: The Man Who Would Be "President of the United States of South Carolina" will go down swinging alongside another driven-out GOP White House candidate.

Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" host - and, with all due respect to Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, perhaps the greatest man that ever lived - brought together Friday an estimated 3,300 of his fellow South Carolina faithful on the College of Charleston campus to join the "Rock Me Like A Herman Cain South Cain-olina Primary Rally." Since Colbert himself won't be vying for Barack Obama's cushy Oval Office chair, he's instead done the classy thing and thrown his support behind the former Godfather's Pizza executive with the "9-9-9" tax reform plan.

Though Cain ended his campaign this past December amid allegations that he covered up past sexual harassment and adultery allegations, the charismatic Cain's name remained on the South Carolina ballot.

"Herman Cain is me," Colbert said. He also led his jubilant throngs - and I kid you not, a choir - in singing "This Little Light Of Mine." He kept it classy and declared that he wouldn't bend and stoop to dirty politics. Instead, he simply told the crowd "I won't be saying things like, the only difference between Mitt Romney and a statue of Mitt Romney is that the statue never changes its position." But when Colbert bade his followers cast their votes behind D.C. outsider Cain, the former candidate himself urged that voters instead make themselves "an army of Davids" to take down Washington's Goliaths.
