Congress breaks up with Stephen Colbert
 

He mocked the Democrats and made a mockery of congress in general. Invited by a Democrat and given a way out by the chairman of the comittee Colbert continued.

I think this was the death nell of Democratic control of the congress. I hope they enjoy the humor.

it's funny how republicans continue to think that Colbert and his show are republican.

I don't think any Republican thinks Stephen Colbert (hard T) thinks him one of them.

Thanks for pointing that out. Ever since I first discovered Alexandre Dumas' Musketeers quintology and the real history of that period it has always been my habit to pronounce it 'Colbair'. :sunny:

Oh please. seve :O:

Believe it or not, I was serious! I was thinking that in my head until I saw your note.

Really! :D

Thank you Seve.

"colbert" in french is pronounced "colbair", i.e. with a silent T.

I presumed that is the effect he is trying for since he pronounces it in the french manner.

Uhhh

did you actually WATCH his "testimony"?

he came down on the Democrats pretty hard a couple of times.

pay special attention to the 4:41 mark to see just how much they care to listen to him.... or anyone for that matter.

Don't blame them. Stupid joke after stupid joke after stupid joke... :doh:

The whole affair is no less ridiculous than the MLB steroid hearings in 2005 and 2006. The only difference is that those hearings were supposed to be serious.

couldnt agree more.

I'm not a big colbert fan... i dont even have Comedy Central.

I was a fan of Jon Stewart when his humor was more "late night" action show jon kind of stuff.

but i have to tell you. i thought this whole Colbert testimony before congress was the biggest waste of time. Why would they even have invited this guy to testify?

whats next?

Carrot Top?

You know, I've got friends that love him. I've tried to get into his brand of comedy, I really have; I just don't find him all that funny. He's like Craig Ferguson in the sense that people either don't get him at all or they think he is absolutely hilarious. Very little middle ground.

I love Craig Ferguson, though.

It actually doesn't matter what he said, it's the fact that he was performing his TV act when he should have been there to testify in an official government proceeding. It's the same as doing it on the witness stand in court! IMO they should have charged him with Contempt of Congress and tossed his butt in jail.

Yup. That pretty much sums up our Congress.
