Via the Daily CallerStephen Colbert to testify before House immigration subcommittee Friday

Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert is slated to testify at a congressional hearing Friday on immigration titled “Protecting America’s Harvest.”

One Republican source said Colbert will be testifying “in character,” the Bill O’Reilly-like muse Colbert uses for his show.

While I find Colbert amusing and will confess that Congressional hearings are frequently a joke, this strikes me as ridiculous.

  1. Geez, is the guy going to end up in-character as President or something?

  2. No, this is good.  Because I still had some slight shred of respect for Congress.  It’s a relief to lower that respect number all the way to zero.
     
    I love Colbert.  But what is he doing hanging out with a troupe of baboons?

  3. Franken set the precedent.
