Online betting site Bodog has been keeping odds on the 2008 presidential election and, according to them, have included Stephen Colbert since the outset. And now that Stephen Colbert has announced he will run in South Carolina — the details of which are still nebulous — the Bodog people have bumped his odds in “Who Will Win the 2008 Presidential Elections” from 800/1 to 600/1. Huzz…ah? How is he in 20th place still, behind the likes of Ralph Nader (125/1) and Duncan Hunter (100/1)? How was he behind someone named Jonathan “The Impaler” Sharkey (700/1) until yesterday, and how do the rest of us remain behind him? Who the fuck is Hillary Clinton (3/2)?
Oh and haha, Tom Tancredo and Mike Gravel have no odds whatsoever.

The only truly outside-the-beltway candidate, a Washington outsider who’s not afraid to go after the entrenched special interests. After the jump, a Very Special Look at Mike Gravel’s Second Life Adventure.
Democrat presidential candidate and 77-year-old ex-Senator Mike Gravel has a message for you establishment squares who don’t dig his crazy YouTube videos: “What people like you don’t understand — which I think is hilarious — is this is a metaphor.” MORE »
Gays by the dozens came out to Star Lounge at New York’s Chelsea Hotel last night — which normally wouldn’t be worth noting, except that they were all going to see beloved camp icon and supposed Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel. MORE »
Uhh … what is going on here? Does this mean something, other than that Mike Gravel is clearly insane?
We’ve got another one, after the jump.

On a daily basis, Wonkette gets a whole host of emails, many of which are precious and adorable in the way they try to get us to care about things that are important to people. Today we received one such missive from Michael Connelly, a supporter of Mike Gravel. Remember him? Only last week we discovered he existed and is apparently running for President or something!

The tipsters have gotten themselves on the “good” list and uncle Wonk’d has loads of stocking stuffers for an early Christmas. These presents might not be as good as the ones Laura Bush was seen buying, but you get what you pay for. Unwrap a jaywalking John Bolton, an over-caffeinated Katherine Harris, an anatomically correct Anderson Cooper, and an occasionally anonymous Dan Bartlett that comes with elephant sidekick, under the tree.
