farm work 'really hard'

No kidding dumbass, you should try it for more than a couple of hours before running your mouth about it.

I wonder what Colbert thinks of Congress now? His heros don’t appreciate him. He’s one of the little people.

Sounds like he punked the idiot congressmen who called him to testify.

How could the U.S. House of Representatives stand for this lunacy ? Making a mockery of Congress isn’t funny to me....Lofgren should be censured IMHO.

I wonder who picks things in the entire rest of the world, do they boat mexicans over to europe in ships horizontally in chains?

What “kind” of congress would ask a comedian to testify? I guess with Franken in DC, they are somehow credible? Waiting to hear from George Clooney and Lady Gaga next. What a waste of OUR money!

Somehow this rings a distant bell. This being a little extra curricular entertainment for the Congress. I did some hurried research and to my surprise it may have been in 1981, public funding was withdrawn from Children's Television enterprise.

It was actually Sesame Street. (Which I support for the kids). I believe it was Democrats that brought in puppets and activated them for the benefit of the hearings. Supplying the words "Big Bird" and "Grover" and so on. They were against withdrawal of public funds.

Later, I believe nearly a hundred million dollars in revenue was gained from ancillary rights - puppets etc and so on. Nice money due to private enterprise - if you can get it. It is still phony emotion and straw men, and as Mr Colbert proves, and still a prime tactic.
