Steven Colbert at congressional hearing

[BrianSW99]

I'm suprised no one has made any comments about the CongressWOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, Sheila JAckson Lee, apparently she can't listen to private citizens without texting. There is nothing more irritating to me than someone texting while someone else is speaking to them............even someone spouting off nonsense like Colbert was.

(You have to be within listening distance of the Michael Berry show to get the congresswoman thing)

I saw that. I thought she was taking a picture of him with her phone :)

They ask celebrities to come and speak to congress on issues in order to get the news media, and the citizens who watch the news, talking about a subject. They did not have him out because they expected to learn something from his 1 day of experience as a farm worker.

Looks like it worked quite well for them this time.

My dad made the point: The legislation proposed for farm workers to to allow citizenship for farm workers as long as they remain in the farm industry. So you can be a citizen....as long as you don't better yourself or ever progress beyond farm labor? How is this not equivalent to slavery or indentured servitude?

I couldn’t watch all of it. I got a headache.
