Stephen Colbert's congress appearance on Friday to share his experiences as a migrant worker were not appropriate, according to the House Leader. Many say that the comedian was able to bring light to a very serious discussion. Given that Colbert is going to host one of the 10/30 rallies at the National Mall, it seems as if he's become more of a political icon than an entertainment personality.Steny Hoyer said that the in-character testimony was more of an embarrassment to Colbert than it was to the House, and that his appearance "was not appropriate."
