Our wonderful Congress has not passed even one of the 13 needed budget bills for next year; they have not passed any tax cut/raise legislation; etc. etc. etc and they sure haven't passed any Immigration legislation or anything to protect our boardes but they can spend a day listening to Stephen Colbert, a supposed "expert witness" tell about life on the farm.
From todays' Courier Journal:
WASHINGTON — Taking his blowhard act to Congress, comedian Stephen Colbert has told lawmakers he doesn't want Mexicans picking his tomatoes. And he expressed befuddlement that more Americans aren't clamoring to “begin an exciting career” in farm work.
A straight-faced Stephen Colbert testified in character Friday at a House hearing on illegal farm workers. He offered what he called his “vast” knowledge of the subject after spending a day on a vegetable farm in New York.
Colbert described his ordeal of stooping to pick beans as “really, really hard.” As he put it: “It turns out, and I did not know this, most soil is at ground level.”
He pleaded with Congresshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adT...lass_10x10.gif to do something about illegal workers because “I am not going back out there.”
And they wonder why people are mad at them!!
