So, Democrats invite Stephen Colbert to testify before Congress. This is done on the strength of Colbert’s having done a comedy bit in regards to a pro-illegal immigrant campaign about how hard farm labor is and how gringos will never do it. Not exactly an earth-shattering issue and, in fact, nothing but the merest political gamesmanship.
This was done, almost certainly, in order to draw MSM attention away from Christopher Coates testimony (PDF) regarding the criminal irresponsibility of Holder’s “Justice” Department in regards to voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party. If there ever was an earth-shattering issue, the failure of the Justice Department to enforce voting rights laws would be it – but the Democrats would prefer we not notice, and the MSM is easily made to play along with Democrat desires.
But just to be sure, the Democrats decide to make a circus of Colbert’s appearance, just to be sure that the MSM knows what to report on – from Drudge:
REP. CONYERS TO FUNNYMAN: ‘I’m asking you to leave the committee room completely, and submit your statement’… MORE… Rep. Lofgren steps in: ‘Many are eager to hear his comments’ … Colbert mugs: ‘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. I’m only here at her invitation’…
These are the people governing our nation, my friends. Complete and utter idiots who are playing games while America suffers. It is a curious thing that before Revolutions, there appears among the Ruling Class a sense of unreality – a conviction that all will be well, and thus no need to concentrate on what is really happening. I think this is because Ruling Classes tend to get filled with stupid people, while those few who have a bit of intellect simply can’t face up to the fact that the party is over.
November can’t get here fast enough – the defeat of the Democrats will be a mercy to them; they’ll no longer be able to embarrass themselves quite so badly.
