Stephen Colbert vs. Congressman Adam Schiff

Colbert: Did you pass legislation banning the very sort of unregulated donations that helped you win?

Schiff: Yes.

Colbert: Isn’t that the political equivalent of sleeping with a prostitute and then strangling her to hide your shame?

Schiff: I wouldn’t want to say that.


I thought one point Colbert made was pretty funny and quite possibly true: A Conservative is what George Bush says a conservative is, and that’s that. In that case, Conservatives stand for big deficits and big government. And if that is the case, what the hell is a liberal?

I have no idea what to call myself anymore.

Love to all. Even you, the lady who created a Coffee River on the 6:30 train out of Grand Central Station.

I thought Bruce Bartlett on Colbert pointing out the hypocrisy of Bush's "conservatism" was just fantastic. It may be because the Daily Show was so weak that night, but that might have been the night when, for me at least, Colbert became the more enjoyable show.

Deficits have as much to do with being conservatives or liberals as being Christian has to do with gay-bashing.
