Stephen Colbert's testimony to Congress...

"...was an embarassment (to himself)", according to Majority Leader Hoyer, and I cannot agree more.

The other day, a friend asked why I don't like stand-up comedy and I had to explain how I don't have much of a stomach for watching other people embarrass themselves; I wince easily, and all but a few classy stand-up acts (them too, not all the time) are nothing but a few instances of laughter interspersed with long periods of wincing.

I tried watching Colbert's testimony and wasn't able to go beyond the first 90 seconds.
