  • I can't believe Rep. Ingersol would admit this and have it on record. I mean, would you admit to eating at The Sizzler?

  • "OMG how is he not in jail I hope he was arrested" is what a idiot that doesn't know the onion is fake would say..............BOOM!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • who cares...

  • 67 people are Hobos

  • Wasn't he a public speaker 100 years ago?

  • thumbs up if u typed hobo

  • Congressmen go to Sizzler's?

  • I've never heard anyone from South Carolina with an accent like that. It was... legible!

  • @TeamBurton I've never been able to read someone's voice either!

  • Section two: i licked my lips

  • this is the truth behind closed doors.

  • this show congress can make anything as exciting as killing to a dead bore

  • amazing. pulitzer material.

  • he talks like sue sylvester...

  • Haha that was my 6th Birthday!!

  • I wish he'd come here and dispose of the NEDS :) lol

  • How the hell did this guy say that whole thing, no cuts, without laughing?

  • Ha! I love it!

    Section 3: I proceeded to bludgeon said hobo on and about the head, neck, and shoulder...

    Section 4: Upon expiration of hobo, I began to urinate upon corpse.

    So if I impersonate a hobo can I do this to my congressman? :-)

  • "YOU DON'T MURDER ANIMALS YOU KILL 'EM." ~ Lee Marvin (The Big Red One)

  • "Upon exploration of hobo I began to urinate" is worthy of the Mark Twain Prize.

  • @narozzz I think it's supposed to be ''Upon expiration of hobo i began to urinate''

  • I love it

  • Loose this shity ad for visa

  • I love you / (slash) you rule man.

    you need your own show.

  • Holy shit....imagine if someone started saying shit like that for real....those meetings are so boring I don't think anyone would even notice !!!!

  • Section 5A is the best part.

  • Haha, definitely

  • i dont understand 5a can you explain.

  • i know eh!

  • I think I witnessed this...? lol.

  • Or get reported for them, whatever really.

  • Cheney shot someone. Laura Bush killed someone with her car. The list goes on. Hookers,killing people with cars,etc are rampant in government.

  • @jxsilicon9 Don't forget Ted Kennedy's killing too. Very much a bipartisan thing, killings and hookers, u might say...

  • i have to return some videotapes

  • I murdered a hobo for purpose of recreation.

  • 1/2" torque wrench would be a much better choice for a weapon though

  • Moreover, he should have been using a breaker bar or something that doesn't need to be calibrated. What are you going to tell your neighbor or kids? "I'm sorry the lawnmower blades flew into through the window, but my torque wrench just hasn't been the same since that hobo thrashing," just doesn't cut it for me. Let's be responsible, people!

  • Section II: I licked my lips. ROFLMAO!

  • man, this is funny, especially with how serious he is

  • I don't know what the hell he is talking about, but so long as the tone and milieu appear official, I think that I am OK with it.

  • poor hobo :)

    this is pure class!

  • Section 2: I licked my lips. Section 2-a: ...

  • LOL... as always some of best satire today comes from the onion

  • and who hasn't picked up a drifter outside of the Sizzler for a thrill killing?

  • man it must have taken a while to bludgeon someone to death with a 1/4" wrench. Poor hobo.

  • i like the part about not recognising himself.... this is funny shit

  • aw, poor hobo...

  • I murdered said hobo for recreational purposes.

  • of course a dodge caravan

  • Section 4: Upon expiration of said hobo, I began to urinate upon the corpse...

  • I know, how epic is that line

  • I like how everyone in the background is fine with what they just heard. Th Onion is awesome

  • haha "just taking out the trash, I've never felt so alive"..

  • i'm surpised it was a hobo, and not a hooker

  • we've all been there, congressman.

  • its rather scary how many thumbs-up this comment is getting

  • It is scary, Deveiel. It's a bit of a comfort to see that someone else is thinking what I am.

  • what they are saying is that nobody pays attention to c-span and representative stuff so they could say anything basically...

  • Holy hell, this is so freaking funny!! The 4th congresional district!! That is MY actual district!!!

  • Will hobo-killings affect re-election?

  • He has my vote, it's very rare to find an honest politician.

  • Haha I know right. God the onion never fails at making me laugh. Haha poor hobo never stood a chance.

  • I don't see how this is an issue. A hobo shouldn't be brought up in our political debates. We have to discuss the skull fucking issue from 2007.

  • Ocular Penetration Restriction Act FTW!

  • Folks, I don't know how many of you notice, but the Onion mentions Rep. Ingersol numerous times in that awesome ticker of thier along the bottom of other programs. It just gets better!

  • section 2: i licked my lips

  • Lols, Taking out the trash.. :P

  • ah the Onion. is there any where they wount go? i ghess not very though.

  • lol murdered a hobo for rectreational purposes

  • a quarter inch torque wrench? I would like to see how anyone could bludgen anything with that, other then that very funny

  • Ingersoll was a very good man who was not only an abolitionist and a pro-woman's suffrage man, but an agnostic as well. We need more people like him in our country.

  • Neekstarr; kinda interested why this makes him a good man. Obviously you agree with his thinking... however there are plenty of good muslims, hindu's and christians in government around the world. Maybe we just need more good people, not more agnostics... they dont seem to be related factors, (nor. I would stretch; abolitionism and goodness)

  • This is a joke about atheists being pure evil.

    Robert Ingersoll is a famous 19th century orator and likely the most famous historical American atheist after Madalyn Murray O'Hair.

  • I like some of the Onion videos, but I like their articles MUCH better. Anyone else agree?

  • Robert Ingersol is the great agnostic?

  • Robert Ingersol is a real guy. lol

  • i laughed some only becuase my mind is well......... strange becuase of my older brothers and thier influence on me, and me and my friends have had, VERY disturbing conversations

  • i laughed because tv warped my mind when i was young

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • wow. i'm not even going to go there. Neways, i think its pretty funny that i put a comment on here about not liking this and you react that way... maybe you have to have violent tendencies to think shit like this is funny. what's next, are you going to threaten me? maybe call me a retard? your really hurting my feelings.

  • ok... i know this is satire. i think it is bad taste though. just my opinion. i suppose you really think you are so high above everyone else at you understand comedy better? To me this video is that same as your "i farted" comment. your response to my comments has made me believe you must be around 11 years of age. so enjoy puberty. please do not respond to me again, as it is tiresome to have a debate that other people really don't care to see. if u must, comment my channel or message me.

  • i dont know man

    to be honest, i liked seeing him get owned in comment debating

  • Wow...this is sick...and HILARIOUS

  • Japanese Elves are horrible.

  • Why can't C-SPAN be this entertaining?

  • I refuse to learn MO about banking!

  • Fake Congress is way more interesting than Real Congress!

  • Fake congress gets more done. =D

  • Couldn't agree more.

  • Fake Congress FTW!

  • @raydred1 yeah because instead of real congress they dont cover it up :P

  • i love youtube!

  • it's a beautiful place.

  • i licked my lips !!!!

  • oh my god, the Onion is the funniest thing on youtube

  • Ah man, I just love The Onion. So hilarious! I love it.

  • This is O-SPAN, not ONN, which should have tipped you guys off. I just like replying to these things like they're real to see what people will say. "gee you is stupid. is oblbiousy faqke, god!!!"

  • Sure ya do, buddy. ;)

  • splendid

  • I can't believe how many people watch these Onion newscasts and actually think they are real. They remind me of the morons who call up the Phil Hendrie show thinking his "guests" are real.

  • Lol, they think its real because all our Congressmen are murderers/heartless monsters.

  • good point. you got me there

  • Ahaha! xD

  • Its not real, Its a bloody made up story.

  • haha, very bloody indeed. :P

  • It's a joke. Obviously you don't get it.

  • well BREAKING NEWS, UR AN IDIOT!

  • You don't know anything about the rules of the house or senate. He's not "filibustering"--at the beginning of every day every Congress person is allowed some time to talk about anything they want to. It could be to congratulate the Spurs for winning the play-offs, anything at all. Often the Congress people take the opportunity to describe who they murdered the night before. (Remember that anything that happens on the floor they cannot be arrested for.) (cont'd)

  • I can't believe you don't know Rep. Ingersol. He's the republican congressman from South Carolina's 4th district. He's the chairman of the House Budget Committee, for god's sake. (Search for "catchphrase" to see a recent debate in that committee about a new catchphrase they are contemplating.) Finally, if you don't have O-Span and O-Span2 on your cable, your cable company must be really lame. You really should call them and demand they include it, along with ONN, the Onion News Network.

  • It actually looked like he was in the House Chamber for a minute there.

  • "I've never felt so alive..." He's monotone.

  • section 2 i licked my lips

  • I know, I thought he would've used a more legalese term like 'transient' or something!

  • To which I replied, "Just taking out the trash. I've never felt so alive."

  • haha he said hobo

  • in course of drive home i glance in rear-view mirror and did not recognize myself....hahahaha

  • Lol. Yeah. That had to be the best part.

  • There are no republicans in Skid Marks, that I promise you!

  • hobophobic

    :)

  • Hell, I thought this was for real. It's believable, given today's republican party of liars, con artists, and public restroom perverts.

  • Oh republicans aren't the only ones lying, cheating, and having affairs.. *cough*

  • I don't think a politician's personal life has anything to do with doing his or her job. Just the fact that you care gets the public involved. And there are liars on all sides of politics.

  • Thank you for that very relevant comment.

  • Normaly I would laugh at this video It being the Onion, but that happans alot.

  • he used "uhh" a hell of a lot of times

  • Skai20:

    "he used "uhh" a hell of a lot of times"

    Perhaps killing a hobo causes an extended case of the "uhh's".

  • haha true

  • i think i figurred out how they get those wide shots of that room. The man speaking at the podium, if u look closey seems slighty bigger than everyon esle. im pretty sure hes green screened onto that shot. in fact im sure of it. really well done.

  • I'm joining the Republican Party. You can do anything you want to do. The Ingersols run this country. They have been in charge since Eisenhower. How come this wasn't on CNN?

    urbanradionation(.)com

  • ...... Why oh why do you Paultards make such fools out of yourself? Can't you just be a lolbertopian without all the crazy conspiracy theories?

  • Tooooooooooooooooooooo dam funny!!!!!

  • I bet that the resolution voting went along party lines. lol

  • sizzler's is ground zero for dead hobo's

  • 23 pages of comments.....

  • It's that number again...23

  • Lies!!!! ALL Lies!!! Police report stated it was NOT a torque wrench but a regular half inch drive breaker bar.

  • That is why i am a republican. I am glad he is repsenting the republican party, who wants to start a re-election campain with me. REPUBLICANS FOREVER!!! Lets kill all those hobos!

  • You are an idiot ... simple as that ... idiot ...

  • I am embarrassed to be in the same party as you..
