Stephen Colbert's sister, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, is running for Congress on the South Carolina ballot this spring. Elizabeth will seek the Democratic nomination in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, the seat left vacant by Tim Scott’s appointment to the Senate to replace Jim DeMint, CNN reported. Her brother, Stephen, who is no stranger to politics, discussed the news on his show last night.
"Holy Cow, my sister's running for Congress!" he exclaimed after describing the benefits of being a native South Carolinian (peaches, shrimp, and the most generous average humidity in America... 86%).
