Stephen Colbert brought a dose of his trademark "truthiness" in testimony before a House subcommittee hearing Friday on the conditions faced by the nation's farmworkers.

Stopped reading right there. Colbert is an unfunny, leftist hack.

Whatever, clownman.
Watched the first minute, pretty painful. What was his point of being there??
I watched the skit and the speech - two big thumbs up!
Next, They are calling on the Gekko to testify about automobile insurance issues.
For some reason most of congress thinks he is a real talking lizard, mostly because they are all idiots.
Good thing we don’t have any real problems and Congress can spend time on hosting a fictional character to testify.
On second thought, I think I’d rather have Congress focus on this instead of working to make me less free.
Bring on Santa Claus to testify about Global Warming.
Colbert’s appearance was a mockery of the congress. It was contempt for those who have shown such contempt for this nation. He wasn’t delivering the joke, he was showing that congress is the joke. It was foolish to invite him, but I for one am glad that congress received a dose of contempt, but alas they are too dim to know it.
Inviting this unfunny leftist clown to testify before Congress perfectly illustrates just how disfunctional our government is. They couldn’t even find a funny comedian, just an O’Reilly imitator. Now Don Rickles in his prime, that would have been funny. Colbert just sucks.
At the same time in another committee room there was a hearing from and insider witness about the fact that the Justice Department under Holder was prosecuting only whites and going after them rather aggressively. The Dems didn't want that on TV so they invented a problem and invited someone who was harmless but who would attract all the cameras. That kept the real news out of the news.
I must have never seen Don Rickles in his prime because whenever I saw him he was far from funny, just rude and annoying
In the mid-60’s, when insult comedy was new, Rickles was huge. Of course, some people didn’t like him even then, but I was about 12 and he killed me.
