VIDEO: Why we need a GOP Congress - Stephen Colbert testifies in front of Congress

Supposedly a "expert" witness because he worked on a farm for ONE DAY comedian Stephen Colbert made a mockery of a Congressional Hearing. Too busy to pass even one appropriation bill the Democratic Congress is a joke. Watch - this is what passes for serious political discussion in the Democrat Congress:


Political satirist Stephen Colbert took his show to Capitol Hill today, where he testified at a hearing about illegal immigrant farm workers and prevaricated that "the obvious answer is for all of us to stop eating fruits and vegetables." "And if you look at recent obesity statistics, you'll see that many Americans have already started," he quipped. Colbert said that, unfortunately, his gastroenterologist had informed him that they are "a necessary source of roughage." Colbert then offered to enter as evidence into the Congressional record a video of his colonoscopy. Colbert was invited to testify by the chairwoman of the House subcommittee on immigration, US Representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California, who had appeared with him on The Colbert Report on Comedy Central to draw attention to the plight of illegal immigrant farm laborers.                   Read the rest of the story here.

This is where we're at in this nation. We have people out of work, people struggling to pay their bills, and people cutting back and this is what we get. The American people deserve better than this.

Colbert is such a egotistical stooge!

He's a couple of intellectual steps behind Jon Stewart.
