"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
Twain has a quote about American politicians not being the most honest or cheapest, but staying bought when you put them in your pocket, but I can't seem to locate it . . .
"Dear Reader, Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
So media/Congress, boohoo he wasn't serious. You may not look into it enough to find out, but they received Colbert's written (I take it, more serious) testimony - then after commenting on the press coverage he was bringing to the hearing (the most since the Clinton impeachment) they asked him to leave (i.e. shut-up; don't talk, funny man) and then it seemed like his microphone wasn't working (although that may have been his fault). Also, if you hear him answering any Congress-person's questions he is obviously sincere about the issue . . . which is more than can be said about most politicians who aren't half as harmless - or a millionth of a percent as entertaining as Colbert. - The People's Poseur
Rally to Restore Sanity vs. March to Keep Fear Alive
Ask and you shall receive: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are going to stage competing rallies on the National Mall after an Internet campaign begged them to do so after Glenn Beck’s rally. “[W]e'd like you to join us in Washington, D.C. on October 30—a date of no significance whatsoever—at the Daily Show's ‘Rally to Restore Sanity,’” says Stewart's event website. Colbert's competing rally is called The March to Keep Fear Alive.
[Definitely worth checking out the full interview.] Jon Stewart was on the O'Reilly Factor (Via The Week) - and what do you know? Fox News edited out some of Stewart's better responses (click here to watch - what Fox News calls - the unedited interview).
