Talk:Colbert Report, The

(removed political BS - it was well nigh a Mod removed it)

New point: (a) So, did Colbert make a jackass out of himself or what when he was 'testifying' on Capital Hill? ;) MoviePropMaster2008

I honestly don't think so. I mean, honestly, when the man was called into the session what in god's name did they think would happen? He holds both parties up to ridicule so he was given a golden opportunity to do it live and in person. Who could blame the man? --Charon68 01:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

No, it was the Democrats who invited him, hoping that a celeb would testify as to the 'plight' of farm workers, etc. etc. etc. It was idiotic and an embarrassment to the entire Congress. Sure we have people who we deem idiotic who are elected to office, but I still hold the institution of Congress in high regard, even though the current crop have the lowest approval ratings in history. Just like the Presidency, we elect a new person every 4 to 8 years, the institution is not bad, but we have a mixed bag with whomever we elect into the office. I was more angry NOW at Colbert for making a mockery of the 'institution' of Congress, even though I have lost respect for many current members of Congress. MoviePropMaster2008
