[font size=5]Stephen Colbert takes on ‘Morning Joe’ over sister’s congressional campaign: ‘It is on.’[/font]

.... “Oh, it is on,” Colbert mock-challenged Scarborough on “The Colbert Report.” ....

“Originally I wasn’t going to talk about this race on my nightly broadcast … but then I watched today’s ‘Coffee Joe Morning and the Funky Bunch,'” Colbert said. “This morning was just pure infomercial for his old buddy, Mark Sanford.”

Colbert then showed clips of Scarborough praising Sanford as a “good friend” and “bright, bright guy” who “knows the issues better than anybody,” as well as pundit Mike Barnicle touting the former governor’s “honesty” about his extramarital affair.

“He’s right!” Colbert said. “When Sanford finally surfaced the first thing that everybody thought was ‘Man, that guy is being so honest about how much he lied!’ And I’m sure he would have been just as honest if no one had caught him.”

“Well, it’s my turn Joe-Joe. I’m going to shock some people right now and endorse my sister, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, for Congress,” Colbert said, before touting the Democrat as a “job creator” with a 20-year career in international trade.
