Colbert Part 2!!!
I will miss this guy so much. I am posting this epic moment from Stephen Colbert's testimony to the US House Judiciary Committee in 2010, in regards to the issue of immigrant farm workers. Colbert had taken a day to work as a farm laborer and was truly shocked by the pay and working conditions. He was invited afterwards to share his thoughts with the committee. Jokes aside, he actually makes a lot of great points here. First is his opening remarks:

Next is the monstrous take down of Rep. Steve King, from Idiot...Oops I meant Iowa:

And finally is the great response to Rep. Judy Chu. Wait for the final minute of the response:

Two notes: King clearly stayed at the hearing in a weak attempt to embarrass Colbert. It doesn't work out too well for him in the end, but there were a lot of Republicans who ran out of that hearing as soon as they could. A lot of empty Republican seats.
Also, watch the people in the back trying not to laugh with his responses. Dana Bash is one of my favorites, to the right a few rows back. Enjoy!
