Ack. Meant "I'm Still Here." But then again, with copyrights and whatever, he might have to go with the "Not." Food (the people don't have!!) for thought.
Yeah, I get it. Testifying to Congress is not some sacrosanct part of our democratic system. Granted. And Capt. Clown, it's true that many far stupider and long-winded people have sat in front of a mic at a hearing (or served in Congress). that But to use an ACTUAL Congressional hearing as basically a set to tape a segment for your show? That just rubs me the wrong way. Sorry! Still love fart jokes, though!
Look, guys, and I am prepared for the downvotes, so I'm just going to qualify that I'm actually a good person: I love Stephen Colbert (the character and guy) and the Colbert Report. He is very, very funny, and it warms my moderately-liberal heart to see him make fun of our political system. Etc.
But, he's testifying as his character in front of OUR ACTUAL Congress. And yes, I agree that Congress is not doing the best (or even a good) job! Still, worth a little more respect than that, yes? It seems a little "You Lie!"ish as far as violating any sort of decorum that the government holds. Now, why anyone would even bother to call him to testify on immigration is clearly proof that our elected officials have lost their minds, and begs for this kind of sarcastic (and hilarious) speech. I guess all I'm saying is that I wish he hadn't gone the acerbic route and instead called them on their BS. It might have been just as funny to see him rip apart the Congress on factual terms, as opposed to turning it into a big play.
Sorry for the rant, here's a puppy: http://www.diypuppytraining.com/puppy.jpg
