Cobert is a funny guy, but I can’t take him seriously. I’m sure his heart is in the right place. But, what the heck are the Dems on the Hill thinking?
And can we get something straight here?
A lot, not all of these migrant workers ARE ILLEGALS so they’re not supposed to have any rights accept the right to remain silent as they get deported. It’s not a hard concept to understand but it seems to escape Democrats.
Fox News reports that if Democratic leaders were trying to bring national attention to migrant farm labor by inviting comedian Stephen Colbert to a House panel hearing on Friday, they appear to have succeeded, but Colbert's performance didn't leave many lawmakers laughing.
"There was no rational reason for him to be there," Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, told Fox News, adding that Colbert's joke-filled testimony didn't stick to the written testimony he had submitted Thursday night. Lawmakers expected him to summarize his points in five minutes, but he went longer -- and lacked substance, said King, a member of the panel.
"He went off on a comedy routine that he had written as a separate document and I think it's an insult to the time, an insult to the intelligence of the American people that Congress is conducting themselves in this fashion," King said.
Rep. Dan Lundgren, R-Calif., acknowledged to FoxNews.com that he was thankful that Colbert's appearance brought publicity to an issue that Lundgren's been working on for 37 years:
"The contrast and comparison between unemployment of American citizens or nationals with the right to be in the U.S. and those here illegally."

Democrats can’t even run a simple hearing with any sense of competence. Is it no wonder why the country is screwed with these guys in charge?
