Olbermann’s Brief History Of Testimonies To Congress More Ridiculous Than Colbert’s
The aftershock of having faux political commentator Stephen Colbert testify in character before Congress is still receding, and as if Megyn Kelly‘s reality hadn’t been crushed enough by Colbert’s cameo, Keith Olbermann took a moment last night to list some of the sillier moments in congressional hearing history that included Mark Twain, an army of baseball players, and, yes, Elmo from Sesame Street.
This preceding comments from various Fox News personalities expressing outrage at the fact that Colbert would appear at all. After taking some shots at those comments and exhibiting other, sillier testimony from the past, Olbermann played Colbert’s comments with little addition commentary from himself, emphasizing the point that migrant field workers were the topic of discussion and that Colbert took his responsibility relatively seriously (except, he notes, his facetious endorsement of the Pledge to America). He snidely notes “to the right” that Colbert quotes Jesus in his reason for why he has chosen this issue to endorse and that, as for Elmo, the Congressman who invited him over is serving time for tax evasion and bribery.
