Colbert Platinum + Belle Isle

Curious about this clip from last nights episode of The Colbert Report. He referred to some kind of private offer to purchase Belle Isle, but I've yet to hear about anything of the sort to date.

Can anybody verify if this was ever a legitimate offer? $1 Billion? Is it even legal?

Bonus: This is a very funny clip. Enjoy!

That was so funny he had to hide his smile. Rare.

This deal was discussed in the Sell Belle Isle? thread.

Thanks. That idea needed to be mocked that well.

That Colbert is fukin brilliant. His superPAC stunts alone are legendary.

That brings to mind the old saying "Wipe that smile off your face"

He is a quality individual.
