He kept going in and out of character, it was actually kind of surrreal. He did a whole "The Word" segment, but then admitted that he's just running "to fuck with people."

But according to what he said on his show last night, he's not running in the Republican primary anymore, because it was too much money. Good to see he's got some sense!

Well, never mind...

Too bad

It would have been an entertaining campaign to watch.
