Stephen Colbert: $uper PAC-man: $1,023,121.24 worth of donations as of today.
'’Yeah! How you like me now, F.E.C? I'm rolling seven digits deep! I got 99 problems but a non-connected independent-expenditure only committee ain't one!” he said in a letter to the body.

The disclosure form finds that $825,475 was donated through December 31. That means he raised nearly $200K in January alone!
$500 came from Gavin Newsom with the occupation listed as “California Lieutenant Governor”
Actor Bradley Whitford gave $250.

Okay, so now that you know who gave, the big question is what Colbert will do with all that money. The answer? Basically, anything he wants to do with it.
Colbert’s super PAC can accept unlimited amounts of money from really anyone -- corporations, unions, associates and individuals -- to advocate for or against a candidate. So has he? Yup. Colbert recently hit the campaign trail ahead of South Carolina’s January 21 GOP primary, and his super PAC ran ads that called Mitt Romney, “Mitt the ripper.”
