Colbert Raises $59,000 For South Carolina Public Schools

But in order to spare these United States of America another protracted Supreme Court battle, he bowed out of the race after being refused a spot on the ballot in South Carolina (”The general sense of the council was that he wasn’t a serious candidate”). Colbert also managed to raise a nice piece of change for public schools in South Carolina, although few noticed.
