Stephen Colbert and big sis Elizabeth Colbert Busch will be bowling together for campaign cash Saturday in South Carolina, according to the Sunlight Foundation's Party Time blog. This event is the most recent one added to the siblings' fundraising schedule, as the "Colbert Report" host helps his sister vie for an open congressional seat. Bowling with the siblings will cost supporters between $250 and $5,200. On Friday, the duo will be in New York City for other fundraising events.

Colbert Busch spoke to MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Wednesday night about the House race and why she isn't using money from Stephen's super-PAC, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow. "Well, the answer to that is no, because before I announced my campaign Stephen had decided to distribute those funds for the super-PAC, so he divided those funds among three charities," Colbert Busch explained. "Yes, he gave it to some very worthy causes."
