seems wrong

[psocoptera]

So apparently Stephen Colbert testified before Congress - in character? Now granted I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I've never watched the Daily Show or the spin-off or whatever, but that just seems wrong to me. Ok, yes, some people might say politics is all a circus anyways and I'm being an idealist, but testifying before Congress strikes me as one of those things that is supposed to be done honestly, like being a witness in court. (This is somehow leading me to imagine Penn and Teller witnessing a crime and Teller, like, miming on the witness stand...)

no, I read it and had a similar reaction, really. And I hate criticizing Catholic progressives, so if I'm doing it you can be pretty sure I think it's actually a misstep :-)
