Lessig reported raising just over $1 million in the most recent quarter ended Sept. 30, with contributors including director J.J. Abrams, TED curator Chris Anderson, director Davis Guggenheim and former FCC chairman Julius Genachowski.

Goddamn, that's like a who's who of worthless Hollywood/Bay area liberals.

'Why won't anyone listen to me???', says man with no political track record besides a disastrous and somewhat suspect foray into PAC funding last year. 'Why won't people vote for me?', he plaintively cries, wondering why the fact he wrote a book about politics once doesn't seem to count for much. 'Why?', he moans, reflecting upon one book on code being law, and another on how he lost a copyright case, while making some notes for his next book on how running for office sucks.

If this is true, at least he's a better grifter-politician than Huckabee.

If Colbert does a glorified Hunger Games sketch for Lessig like he did for Perry, Walker, Webb, and Chafee, it'll be the most exposure Lessig 2016 will ever have.

I wonder what's going to happen to the money he raised. And whether they'll be looking closer into the allegations that he hadn't actually reached $1 million according to filings at the point when he declared.
