Congressman Westmoreland vs. the Ten Commandments March 19, 2007

Last June I posted a clip from Stephen Colbert’s interview with the congressman representing Georgia’s Eighth Congressional District.

For several days after this interview, the main page of the Congressman’s website featured a photo of him shaking hands with Colbert. This was a real congressman. They weren’t making this up.

Last week, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Illinois), chair of the House Democratic Caucus, warned freshman congresspersons not to appear on The Colbert Report.

Here, courtesy of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, is a collage of the best moments from Colbert’s “Know Your Congress” segments:

Rahm Emanuel is full of it (and not for the first time, may I add).
