Stephen Colbert Goes to Congress

The Conservative media outlets have been abuzz recently, angrily muttering about the audacity of Congress to show a sense of humor. Faux conservative comedian Stephen Colbert was asked to testify before Congress in a hearing entitled "Protecting America's Harvest". From HuffPo:

"Colbert appeared with United Farm Workers (UFW) President Arturo S. Rodriguez before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. In August, the comedian spent a day working at a corn and vegetable farm in New York state after Rodriguez appeared on his show to discuss UFW's "Take Our Jobs" campaign.

The effort is intended to debunk the theory that undocumented immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens and highlight the fact the nation's food supply is dependent on these farm workers."

Please view the video below. Colbert makes some outstanding points. For example, work as a migrant laborer is "really hard". It's worth the watch.

To Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Heritage, etc., etc., I have just this to say:

Lighten up. You're making me look bad.
