For further proof that this congress is an absolute joke check out what will be happening on Capitol Hill today.
Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert will be on the Hill today testifying before a House committee on immigration. Colbert, of "The Colbert Report" will appear as an expert witness. He has focused on the UFW’s “Take Our Jobs” campaign on his nightly show. He had spent a day last month picking vegetables on a farm in upstate New York.
Really? So, after a day of picking vegetables Colbert is an expert? This is seriously getting out of hand! When Congress is looking to comedians to solve the problems plaguing our country, we may have really hit rock bottom. Stay tuned as tomorrow Harrison Ford testifies on terrorism (he was in some movies about terrorism) and then Monday Captain Crunch will have his say on national security (he IS a captain).
As one blogger put it this morning: "I don't think that Colbert should go to Congress, I think Congress should go to Comedy Central to expose who they really are----clowns".
It kind of reminds me of the closing scene of Animal Farm. As the pigs gaze into the window they have a hard time distinguishing the pigs from the humans. As I look at this congress it becomes increasingly more difficult to tell what's real and what's a joke. Who and what are we supposed to take serious?
