Stephen Colbert in Congress (3/9): Lamar Smith, John Conyers, Dan Lungren (2010)

[bluchismoon]

I agree. The people who come here legally to work or study or whatever have to wait for a long time and do so much to be able to get a visa. Meanwhile, many people who just don't have the money try every year to cross the border(many dying in the process)or those who have just become fed up with the wait pay some coyote to get them across.

[xESOTERlC]

You can tell Colbert is offended(justifiably). Maybe economy would be better off if useless old people would step down and retire, and if congress as a whole didn't get paid ridiculous sums for squat, including lifetime health coverage/benefits, and if they put lobbying money to practical as opposed to personal use.

Lamar Smith is the cock-nut that introduced SOPA.

FUCKER!

[LawrenceofIsrael]

labour is a commodity??? F**k you representative, the only illegal immigrant are you.

I think that michigan rep is drunk and rude. I would hate to work in the congress if it's just a glorification of high school!

[NickAD30]

Lamar Smith just quoted Colbert on his show to try to point out that he said something that would contradict his implied position in this hearing. Wait a second, the Colbert Report is the most obvious satire I've ever seen. I wonder if he so desperately and purposely misinterprets Colbert because he has little to no ability to defend himself without revealing his actual motives. Either that, or he's a complete idiot.

I've worked at local colleges and universities for years, and these guys are pros., superior to any and all faculty in saying more than would ever be needed and said in such a long-winded, indulgent manor that few are able to stay with long enough to ever fully comprehend. BS factor is very high here. We need people who can get to the point much more quickly. Maybe that's legislation that needs to be enacted. Ridiculous.

[Lucentia3]

check out the chick behind him... why do these people always chew gum like they're still in junior high? Seriously, I can't even watch it!! I just wanna reach through the screen and make her spit it out into a napkin. You're all governmental and on national television for christ sakes!

[Abonanno24601]

@ZombieVersion yeah, Fuck him and his wife Monicia! She is one of many of reasons why Detroit is the way it is!

[rostharan]

[ishouldbedoinghw88]

[jtriplett2010]

American workers include everyone from Greenland to Chile, because America is the name of the continent, United States is the name of our country that has this House Judiciary Subcommittee is from.

[Arceumon]

@diak2009 American is used to describe US Citizens for some reason. You go anywhere in the world wearing the US Flag and they'll immediately recognize you as an 'American'. I think he's just shortening it out for the audience.

I don't think the Canadians ever point that out though..... oh well. -_-

[hemidox]

Not only is he embarrassing himself for being so rude to Stephen, but he's also embarrassing the Chairwoman because he's discrediting all her efforts for spending time with Stephen and bringing him onto the hearing. Go Chairwoman!!

[hemidox]

LOL OMG are you SERIOUS??? Did anyone see what that guy said with the long speech directed at Stephen Colbert starting from 3:10?

He basically thanked Stephen for all the press and attention he's brought, and then told him to get the f* out. How can he be so stupid as to make himself look like an ass in front of national television, and against Stephen Colbert of all people...

[SergeantPepper99]

@hemidox

Yes, he is a Mr. Uh Uhingson

But really now, it seems like he can talk for 2 or 3 seconds and then it's almost like his brain needs to stop speaking to take a break, almost like when someone needs to take a breath.

[AndrewChan84]

@hemidox They are afraid of him bringing down the ass-whooping unto their stupid asses, so they try to get rid of him per-emptively because he speaks.

[TheHcgdietplan]

Keep up the good video work looking good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[Eveonthehill]

Am I going crazy or is Lundgren a republican who actually seems to have something to say on immigration that is thoughtful, careful, and far-seeing...? I'm sure he has some opposing opinions- he is a rep after all- but this helps with an honest debate across the aisle. This was a very cool hearing. I hope the Prez saw it.

[wongs42]

John Conyers is such a senile guy...

[TheAtomicist42]

Lol... Lamar? What a poof.
