1. Yup, and he did a decent job. nt

[hendo]

2. Who is this Dr Swain?

She sure isn't doign a good job of making her point.

[GigiMommy]

5. I asked myself the same question.

Here's some info:

[hendo]

6. a google search has shown

that she has questionable ties and questionable stances.

And when did Maxine Waters get there? She can't even make it on time to her own committee hearing?

[hendo]

7. I may not care for her, but Maxine Waters is making a good point

Americans WILL NOT take farm jobs. Good for her! If we want to create American jobs then farm jobs are not the issue. Illegal immigrants ARE NOT stealing american farm jobs! Thank you Maxine!!

[Wednesdays]

3. Fuckwad Repuke

asked Colbert if he supports 72-hr. notification on congressional bills. Took Colbert's "yes" to mean he supports the Pledge to Rich People.
:argh:

[uncommon]

4. So stupid. It's already supposed to be that way and also it should be - and I think most or all

Dems would agree wholeheartedly.

[Erose999]

21. Well Colbert (the character) would support the "Pledge to Rich America" lol

[Erose999]

22. anyone know the specifics of that vote he's whining about? Seems like it was some subcommittee vote

or something rather than a final vote to pass.

[hendo]

8. Damn, GO Get 'em Ms Sanchez!

I haven't ever heard of her before, but damn is she good!

[uncommon]

9. She is good - very clear, concise, getting the good stuff in.

[hendo]

15. Ms Chu (?) was quite good too

I love being reminded that not all congresswomen from California are as uninformed as Congresswoman Boxer.

[NV Whino]

24. Boxer is a Senator

And uninformed is not a term I would apply to her.

[hendo]

25. Congresswoman is an approriate term to apply to her

Congress is the Senators and the Representatives.

edit: Although I do appologize if I somehow offended you.

[Wednesdays]

10. Repug is questioning whether Colbert actually did the work depicted

Colbert: "I was a corn packer. I hope I didn't offend anybody, because in Iowa a cornpacker could mean a gay person." LOL!

[uncommon]

11. Damn, he just got real and he is doing really well.

[Subdivisions]

12. That was good. He actually was very serious. n/t

[DemReadingDU]

13. That was a great response about the least powerful

need a video

[hendo]

16. I agree.. I am sure that it will be on youtube, or available for DL from C-span shortly. nt

[Wednesdays]

14. That was a really poignant speech

I hope someone puts it up on Youtube.

[uncommon]

17. I'm sure it will be up within minutes.

[hendo]

18. I hope that someone rips the entire subcommittee meeting.

[hendo]

19. and now its over. Sounds like Stephen Colbert will be interviews

on a lot of shows after that. He is being hounded for interviews as the subcommittee files out.

[Subdivisions]

20. The faux snooze guy in there asked him as he was leaving:

"How do you feel about trivializing such a serious issue?"

:eyes:

[hendo]
