Remembering Pat Paulsen

Stephen Colbert's run for the presidency reminds me of another comedian -- Pat Paulsen -- who ran back in 1968.

"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian."

"A good many people feel that our present draft laws are unjust. These people are called soldiers."

Presidential Campaign Slogan: "I've upped my standards. Now, up yours."

Paulsen was a regular on the Smothers Bros. show on CBS. On the first show after the election, Paulsen opened by reading his victory speech. "Pssst, Pat," came a voice, off-camera. "You lost." Without blinking an eye, the hangdog Paulsen calmly turned over the paper in his hand and read his concession speech.
