Yes, YouTube speaks for you.
Pretty much says it all...

Colbert testified in front of Congress?
That kinda creeps me out.
Seems only Republicans care about it.
Yeah...the whole thing was weird. Colbert was confused, justifiably, the entire time. I don't think he realized just how wheels-off Congress is.
Well, thats pretty re ed. Really if they wanted a comedians take on migrant workers they should have called George Lopez.
Good to see my tax dollars going to go use though.
YouTube!
Democrats
I didn't realize he testified "in character". WTF?
newsflash: he's a comedian.
That is great.
Now how did the unedited hearing go?
OMG...
I figured from different angles, I would see different people, etc.
He really said that in congress, didn't he?
Way to go Colbert!
Plus...
The C-Span coverage:
Holy . He made a genuine point in the final minute of his testimony. I wonder if between ing around on their blackberry, laughing, or napping...the members of Congress actually heard what he said.
.....and yet even more realistic than FAUX News.....hmmmmm...
I can't believe this is real.
He made all kinds of jabs at congress in the process. I wonder how many people causght them. The first one, "elevating it to C-Span 1." was because this is the first congress since C-Span started recording congress, to highly restrict C-Spans access to congress.
Pretty sure all sessions are carried live like always. He was making a joke. Your'e an idiot.
Out of respect to Yoni, I will respond in his chosen language: easily accessible video clips.
Unprecedented?
Pay particularly close attention at about the 2:30 to 2:35 mark of this video.
No, they aren't. Congress controls camera access to C-Span, and C-Span has less access than with previous congress'.
Well, John Conyers asked him to leave the Committee room before he testified and Colbert pretty much told him to go himself that he's Zoe's today.
Colbert Offers Comedy Shtick in Farm Workers Testimony, Fails to Amuse Lawmakers
At the beginning of the hearing, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, tried to pull the plug on Colbert's testimony in an effort "to get to the bottom" of the issue.
"I would like to recommend that now we got all this attention that you excuse yourself and you let us get on with the three witnesses and all the other members there," he said. "I'm asking you to leave the committee room completely, and submit your statement."
But Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the subcommittee chairwoman who invited Colbert to testify, intervened.
"Many are eager to hear his comments," she said.
Colbert replied that he would leave only at her request.
"I'm here at the invitation of the chairwoman, and if she would like me to remove myself from the hearing room, I am happy to do so," he said. "I'm only here at her invitation."
LoL@Colbert. Can't what for the Oct 30th show with Stewart.
