Boehner blasts Democrats in Congress over prioritizing Stephen Colbert over tax cuts
Last week, for some reason that I still cannot fathom, the Democrats in the Congress thought that it was a good idea to bring Stephen Colbert in front of them to testify. He testified in character, mind you.
While our country faces many serious issues–the economy being the most important–our leaders in Washington decided that they had nothing better to do than to sit there and listen to a comedian make an ass of himself and a mockery of the system.
Yesterday John Boehner finally spoke out against this farce:
Washington is spending more time with comedians than debating (our) economic future,” Boehner said, referring to comedian Stephen Colbert’s mocking testimony of the House on Friday. “They have time to bring a comedian to Washington, D.C., but they don’t have time to end the uncertainty
He is 100% right about this. Democrats announced late last week that they just didn’t have enough time to debate extending the Bush tax cuts before the midterm elections. Between campaigning and listening to comedians testifying in the Congress I guess they had to sacrifice something–there are only so many hours in the day after all, so once again the American people lose out.
I have said many times in the past that Democrats just do not take the issues that are confronting many Americans serious enough, and when you see them pull of a stunt like this it should be obvious to everyone that Democrats simply have their priorities misplaced and are not working in the best interest of the American people.

EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE that was involved in this Colbert thing needs to be horse whipped… What a WASTE of OUR tax dollars…

This really was outrageous. I have stopped trying to figure our the mind of the liberal, but I find myself asking myself, how the hell could anyone have thought that this was a good idea? I just can’t understand why this was allowed to happen on our dime.

What gets me is how much emphasis and value is placed on the opinion of someone like Stephen Colbert. When all is said and done, he is just an entertainer, as is other actors, singers, etc., who want to speak up about all sorts of issues. Obviously, it is their right to do so, but their opinions should carry no more weight than mine or your’s. But, as is usually the case, Congress has their attention completely off the ball.

So true Larry, when I hear actors and entertainers giving us their positions on this issue i aways wonder how many people take these people more seriously because they are famous. I hope that people don’t think these people know any more than we do about what they are talking about just because they are famous. They have the right to their opinion but that does not mean they know more than anyone else. For Congress to give this man a stage to do a “bit” is just unbelievable to me, I still can’t for the life of me figure out what they were trying to do.
