Steny Hoyer: Stephen Colbert's Testimony To Congress Was 'An Embarrassment For Mr. Colbert'

[still_one]

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md) was neither humored nor pleased with Stephen Colbert's recent testimony before the House Judiciary committee's subcommittee on immigration, calling it an embarrassment for the Comedy Central host.

"I think his testimony was not appropriate," said Hoyer, during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "I think it was an embarrassment for Mr. Colbert more than the House."

In my view what has been an embarrassment was the Democratic leadership in Congress

It is very telling that hoyer would go on faux news to complain about this

and Democrats wonder why their isn't an outpouring of enthusiasm for them?

1. Poor Steny

2. Rep. Hoyer should be the one embarrassed

Pandering to FAUX News?

When was the last time Rep. Hoyer spent a day working alongside migrant farm workers? I'm thinking the 12th of Never.

6. If he isn't now, he will be come Stephen's next show

I can't wait to hear his rebuttal to Hoyer and all the other critics. No doubt he'll slap them silly. In a comic way, of course. :-)

13. Hoyer is a dick, as is Conyers

Hoyer should lose his position as majority leader, and Conyers should be made an example of.

5. I agree, the limits are drawn at using your baby grand-daughter as a prop. Comedians are over

the lines.

7. Steny who??????????

[Hissyspit]

8. People are mad at Democrats because why?

Possibly because they do STUPID and PATHETIC shit like this?

[immoderate]

9. Hoyer is apparently immune to satire.

So is a poster above this. Colbert is a modern day Mark Twain, HL Mencken, Will Rogers.

10. The sad thing is that Steny's congressional seat is safe. His district is safely Democratic.

Why did he feel the need to cowardly suck the tit of Faux Noise?!?!?!?

14. The so called Health Care Legislation is the biggest

embarassment I've seen!

15. I believe i have said this before

Fuck you, Steny!

16. OK I understand Hoyer couldn't understand what went on

But I'm surprised he didn't have some young intern on his staff to explain it to him before he made a complete fool of himself.
