Newly single (again) media mogul Rupert Murdoch is quite the eligible bachelor. After all, as Stephen Colbert put it on Tuesday, “Ladies, he’s breathing!”

The speculation from the very public appearance is that Murdoch may endorse Paul in 2016, should the latter run for president.

Murdoch’s tip-of-the-cap is being sought by nearly a dozen Republican presidential hopefuls, leading Colbert to quip: “It’s like a GOP version of ‘The Bachelor,’ especially since they also want nothing to do with somebody named Juan Pablo.”
