Colbert was priceless last night. His guest was Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland and I guess he never heard of The Colbert Report before. He will now.

                                                  Video-WMP Video-QT (rough transcript)

Colbert: You have not introduced a single piece of legislation since you entered Congress.

Westmoreland: That’s correct.

Colbert: This has been called a do nothing Congress. Is it safe to say you’re the do nothingest?

Westmoreland: I, I, ..Well there’s one other do nothiner. I don’t know who that is, but they’re a Democrat.

Colbert: What can we get rid of to balance the budget?

Westmoreland: The Dept. of Education.

Colbert: What are the Ten Commandments?

Westmoreland: You mean all of them?–Um… Don’t murder. Don’t lie. Don’t steal Um… I can’t name them all.

The guy co-sponsors a bill about the Ten Commandments and doesn’t even know them. Priceless.

emailer Ruth asks: Does this guy deserve a $3,300 pay raise?
