Capitol Hill Rethinking Celebrity Stance

Washington, DC – Congress is still smarting from Stephen Colbert “packing their corn" last week. According to inside sources, the House panel on immigration is considering having their heads examined (as soon as they are removed from their asses) over their judgment in inviting the “truthy” comedian to testify about illegal immigrant farm workers.
Unsolicited Drivel spoke with one House member who told us, “We really need to examine whether it’s proper for celebrities to play roles in our lawmaking after the Colbert incident.  I believe we need to have stricter criteria.  For example, say, unless a celebrity is willing to travel to a war-torn country to pick nits off of the heads of orphaned Aids babies, or develop a machine that will save the Earth with their mad scientist relatives, they should probably stay at home.  I think most of us will now agree that fondling fruit should no longer be enough criteria to testify on the Hill.”

I agree with Colbert; Americans are not geared for picking corn, hoeing strawberries, gathering grapes or anything else that has to do with picking and gathering. I had a very large farm on the outskirts of Portland and, like most W.A.S.P.'s I protested the influx of Mexicans who came to pick and hoe. But, I soon learned, when my own sons and their friends tried to work alongside them, there was no competition. The white boys could not do the work. One day a chiropractor sat in my kitchen window and pointed out to me why they can stand in a field, bent over, all day long, without it hurting their back. It is simple, they are built different than we are, even when they are taller than most they still can bend, twist, lift all day long and never have the back problems Americans do. All the battling on 'the hill' will not be able to change that.
