Stephen Colbert‘s testimony on Friday before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration has received some mixed reviews. Not because it wasn’t funny — Colbert was very funny, and very sharp — but because he stayed in character the entire time and some people (not including Nancy Pelosi) felt that was inappropriate.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is apparently one of those people. This morning on Fox News Sunday he told Chris Wallace he didn’t approve.
I think his testimony was not appropriate. I think it was an embarrassment for Mr. Colbert more than the House…I don’t whether [he should have been called] but what he said was not the way it should have been said. If he had a position on the issues he should have given those issues.
