Default Colberta?

Campaign launched to make Stephen Colbert premier of Alberta and rename province "Colberta"

Quote:
In the world according to Colberta.com, it would be out with Ed Stelmach, Norman Kwong and all things French (Leduc would become The Duc), and in with Stephen Colbert, he of Comedy Central faux-Fox News fame, who would become a kind of non-aligned provincial leader for life.

“It is time for The Colbert Nation to rise up and request . . . no, demand, that the province of Alberta be turned over to the leadership of Colbert, who can rule the new state of Colberta with an iron fist, an unyielding gut, and balls of steel,” says the website, which also includes a number of Colb-mandments (Article Five: “Nickelback has got to go. We hear Saskatchewan may be interested.”)

He was funny until his satire turned into over the top pandering. Oh well.

Did this actually come from Colbert himself or is this some type of fan idea?

The guy running the site loses all his credibility when he says he's a Leafs fan. Mild sauce.
