Mr. Colbert Goes To Congress

You've heard all about it, and here it is, complete from C-Span 3. Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, in character as "Stephen Colbert", testifies before a US House of Representatives Committee on immigrant farm workers.

Below, from the text at C-SPAN.......

Witnesses spoke about the American agricultural sector's reliance on foreign, and often undocumented, workers to pick fruit and vegetables on America's farms. Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert appeared in character to testify. Mr. Colbert was part of a United Farm Workers campaign calling on unemployed Americans to take jobs in the agriculture sector. As part of the program he spent a day laboring at a vegetable farm in New York in August 2010.

To be honest, I've only seen a few excerpts of Stephens's testimony, and listened to the rage on the right, the laughter by some on the left, and the utter confusion by most members of the media.

I'm going to watch as much of this as I can, and post a comment or two later

It's Stewart vs Colbert For The Hearts of America on October 30th!

Not to outdone by Glenn Beck and Al Sharpton, who in August ran competing rallies in Washington DC on the same day, the two biggest stars of Comedy Central will be leading their troops to the nation's capital on October 30.

Last night on The Daily Show Jon Stewart decided enough is enough, that the discourse has gotten too venomous and crazy, and it was time to do something. Stewart called for a "Million Moderate March" on Washington in a rally to be called the Rally To Restore Sanity. But as you can see in the video below, Stewart ruffled the feathers of fellow "pundit" Stephen Colbert, who also had somethin' cookin'.

I don't know about you, but I've got nothing going for October 30th....it's only a three hour train ride from here. I wonder if FOX NEWS will cover the event?

Lewis Black On Beck- "Six Degrees From (Minus Five)"

Last night on COUNTDOWN Keith Olbermann ran Lewis Black's "BACK IN BLACK segment from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart- and its worth a few minutes if you haven't seen it yet.

Black takes on Glenn Beck, a man Black says runs more clips of the Nazis on his program than does the History Channel. Black explores in only a way he could Beck's imaginary Six Degrees of Separation between a certain German dictator and the current President of the United States...and some others.

But what is the symbiotic connection between Lewis Black and Glenn Beck?

Very simple.....Black gets paid for going before an audience, getting overly emotional, and being a clown. And so does Glenn Beck.
