As a fan of Colbert's, I found this absolutely pathetic. Congress should be fact finding and investigating tough issues, and this was just another political stunt very symptomatic of the complete breakdown of our political system. Nobody is interested in fact finding, truth, etc., they are interested in staying in power and building future fortunes. So, they orchestrate stunts like this crap, or they tack on the freakin DADT bill to the defense bill to try to milk more political capital out of it rather than just putting it up for a straight vote.
