Colbert Clobbers Serenity
I’m kind of torn here, I voted for Serenity cause I’m a brownshirt but I do love me some Colbert. Write in is a write in…I don’t know. I have the feeling that NASA is going to sack this one but part of me would love for NASA to have a sense of humor about this and name it Colbert.
NASA’s mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, “The Colbert Report” to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.
