Life Imitates Satire: This Is Not a Serious Government

Blurb:
the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration held its much-publicized hearing with Comedy Central comedian Stephen Colbert on hand to offer testimony.  As John Conyers notes, the media and spectators turned out to see whether Colbert would address the panel seriously as an expert on immigration and make the panel a joke, or stay in character and make the panel a bigger joke.
I rest my case.

Well, when the children got the gavel, as Pelosi famously boasted back in 2007, you have to expect a clown to appear. Colbert is funny, but that was no place for him. Or it shouldn't be.

Preach it. Then again, haven't we more or less said that this administration is unsatirizable?
