He's just bumped Zappa out of first place in my Congressional Hearing testimony top 10. That was awesome.

"Even the invisible hand of the market doesn't want to pick beans."

"It turns out that picking beans is hard work, and involves a lot of bending over. we can put a man on the moon, why can't we make the ground waist high? where's the funding?

"The easier answer is to have scientists genetically engineer vegetables that pick themselves. The Fruit of the Loom company has made great strides with fruit/human hybrids."

brent bambury on the cbc this morning pointed out the only laughter was after colbert said that "following my testimony, both sides will work together on this issue in the best interests of the american people as you always do."

bloody brilliant.

Way too funny - House leader says Colbert was "an embarrassment" . This is the first time I've seen the comments under an article in any news site in total unanimity: it's not Colbert who's the embarrassment.
