Republicans were venting professional indignation when Democrats invited Steven Colbert on September 24 to testify before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law – while in character as the acerbic news anchor he plays on his comedy show.
Yet these are the same Republicans who invited Elmo in April 2002 to testify before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Health, Human Services, and Education – while in character as the acerbic Muppet he plays on Sesame Street.
Granted, a pox on both parties. But this preening hypocrisy among Republicans provides yet another reason to vote against them (and their Tea Party puppets) in midterm elections next month.
