Congress is done! All problems solved...

Lets put on a show to celebrate!

Seriously though... I am truly stumped.

In an effort to bring attention to a matter that is already quite in the public's awareness, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren invited and Congressman John Conyers authorized Stehpen Colbert to testify before the immigration subcommittee. The 'testimony' was based on the fact that Stephen supposedly spent a day picking vegetables with immigrants.

1.) You don't need to draw attention to the issue. Maybe you need to draw attention to a potential solution, but they don't have one. That wasn't their intent. Instead, they've highlighted their cluelessness.
2.) You don't use the floor of the Congress of the United States as a stage for comedians. I think Stephen is a comedic genius, and I love his character, but ... ... I mean, come on! The White House Correspondent's Dinner is bad enough, but at least that is an annual event designed for laughter at our government's expense.
3.) Congress ought to stop bringing in cable network stars, baseball stars, and other ridiculous celebrities and focus on the fucking job they are there to do. Yeah, its not an easy job, but thats precisely why we can't have them spending their time booking a goddamn talent show.

THIS is whyipaytaxes.
