...While some Republicans criticized Democrats for inviting Colbert, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Fox News that she believes it's "appropriate."
"Of course I think it's appropriate," she said. "He's an American. He can bring attention to an important issue. I think it's great."
At the beginning of the hearing, Rep. John ConyersBut Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the subcommittee chairwoman who invited Colbert to testify, intervened.
"I would like to recommend that now we got all this attention that you excuse yourself and you let us get on with the three witnesses and all the other members there," he said. "I'm asking you to leave the committee room completely, and submit your statement."
"Many (Nancy and I are just cracking up and living the dream in which we can do what ever we want no matter how much it disgraces this body-M) are eager to hear his comments," she said.
Colbert replied that he would leave only at her request.
"I'm here at the invitation of the chairwoman, and if she would like me to remove myself from the hearing room, I am happy to do so," he said. "I'm only here at her invitation." (I am the court jester and she demands I preform!-M)...

Sexuality introduces Death to Being; and indeed Life simultaneously. This is the profound Myth of the Eden. The work of the Serpent. Bringing us out of "blessed" Standstill. So, in contrast to the mindless pietism of vulgar Christianity, my personal "Christo-Satanism" should be given serious thought by the Enlightened Few, the Pneumatics, the 1% Outlaws. The Light Bringer must be rehabilitated, beacause if not, the All of it simply doesn't make sense: true Catholicism is necessarily Meta Catholicism.
