Rep. Zoe Lofgren D, Chair of the House Committee on some such related to Immigration or Workers is holding hearings today.
Steven Colbert from the COMEDY CHANNEL is present to testify, IN CHARACTER, about his vast experience on this topic.
You can watch live stream at the URL or check out CSPAN-3 on yer telebox communicator.
Fox News' Judge Napalitano commented this morning that it is highly irregular for someone to testify under oath while 'in character' pretending to be someone else.
Thank you for watching so I DON’T HAVE TO.
House Committee on Immigration, Citizenship and Border Security...
House members still speaking. Colbert sitting there looking all interested.
Conyers speaking now, proposing to Rep King that they form another Committee to recruit hundreds of thousands of people to solve this (immigration) problem...
Where is the outrage?
This is absolutely an abomination and makes a travesty of the whole Congressional testimony system.
Was this Al Franken’s idea?
How much lower can we possibly get?
Absolutely. How much clearer can it be that we need to throw these bums out. Spending their time on a hearing featuring a comedian testifying in character - good grief. What, was Pee Wee Herman unavailable?
Conyers now shilling for Colbert’s “MARCH” on the 30th of October...
Evidently Colbert has already given opening statement? Waiting for comedian to respond to a request to Conyers’ request that Colbert LEAVE the room and submit his statement in writing, but not speak??
are these the don’t ask, don’t tell meetings on shamnesty? /s

Listen, the house is nothing but a band of court jesters these days...may as well have a profession entertainer or two spin some yarns too.
This is a joke. Just like the Democrats. They treat the whole country like a playpen.
The Republicans should use film of this dog and pony show in campaign commercials. The ads write themselves.
Clint Eastwood: violence on the western frontier.
Alan Alda: battlefield medicine.
Al Franken: comedy.
David Prowse (with James Earl Jones under the table to do the speaking): difficulties of the handicapped in management positions.
Can we then assume it will be easier to charge Colbert with purjury? Paging Patrick Fitzgerald, media whore opportunity in aisle 2.
It is bad enough the all of a sudden a comedian is an expert.
What I really want to know is WHO called him to testify.
You don’t just walk in the Capitol building and offer to testify in front of Congress.
Hope he is under oath
I think drug tests are in order.
It is the only way they can get people to watch the hearing. The Dems are trying to energize their base, particularly Hispanics, before the midterms. This is all political theater.
It just occurred to me - since they are shilling for the Oct 30 “event” -
This is to somehow lend him credibility - and to give more PR for the Oct 30th event.
“This topic - which I know something about, having testified in Congress ...”
An apple farm owner speaking about how if illegal immigrants don’t show up on time to pick, they go broke. China will supply apples to us instead.
He pays $93 per day to apple pickers. Says there are labor shortages...supports AgJob legislation.
