I joined a good chunk of the blogosphere in reviling Michelle Obama for saying she wasn’t proud of being an American until her husband became a contender. It was a dumb remark.
Still – hearing that the Democrats are going to do this…:
Comedy Central humorist Stephen Colbert is set to testify before a House subcommittee on immigration at 9:30 a.m. today. Yes, you heard that right. Colbert is scheduled to appear alongside United Farm Workers President Arturo Rodriguez, whose group initiated a campaign called “Take Our Jobs” that challenged U.S. citizens to replace immigrants in farm work. On last night’s edition of “The Colbert Report,” Colbert took the challenge, packing corn and picking beans to see if he could handle farm labor. As it turns out, he really can’t.
…and I gotta confess, they might wanna close the Statue of Liberty, because it’s gonna fall over.
Next week, look for the Cookie Monster to talk about childhood obesity.
You keep using that word, “testify.” I don’t think Democrats mean “testify” the way you mean it.

I demand that all of those Spanish “Mexicans” return Mexico to the Indians. It’s only fair.
Gravitas et Decorum.
Brought to you by the people that elected a foul mouthed, children’s charity stealing, porn story and rape joke writer to the US Senate.
How about developing machinery that can harvest the crops, vs just paying illegeals peanuts to work for you.
Reminds me of when Dee Snyder got called to testify before Congress and he showed up in full Twisted Sister garb. 10 bucks says this actually backfires.
As angryclown is so fond of pointing out, the adults are in charge.
Interesting that Stephen Colbert’s mock “testimony” on immigration was scheduled at the same time that Christopher Coates was scheduled to give his testimony on the DOJ’s mishandling the Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.
I wonder which one will get more media coverage.
So far it looks like it backfired. Chairman Conyers asked Colbert to leave the hearing. Some of the Republicans asked him to stay in order to stir the pot a lot more. But lets see how the Obama News Network spins it tonight.
An old tactic when someone is projecting what they believe others say and think is to call their bluff and say the thoughts and ideas are from the person or group who said them. Portray Colbert’s views as those of the liberal-progressive-democrats.
