Actor/comedian Stephen Colbert was invited to testify before Congress — in character — on the topic of immigration.
Well, why not? After all, we once had the spectacle of noted scientist Meryl Streep testifying about the use of Alar on apples, based on her extensive experience in the field of toxicology.
What lunacy inspired act of genius is next?
Perhaps the Judiciary committee could invite Robert Duvall to testify on civil rights, in character as Boo Radley?
I’m looking forward to the day when we can have Will Smith, in the role of Captain Steven Hiller, USMC talk to the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics.
It’d be pure awesome if Mike Myers were to testify to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence while doing his Austin Powers voice.
It’s just too bad there’s no House Select Committee on Getting Off My Lawn, because I’d pay good money to see Clint Eastwood do his Gran Torino character there.
