Stephen Colbert Congress Appearance Appropriate? House Leader Says No [VIDEO]

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."

[VIDEO] Stephen Colbert Goes to Washington

Stephen Colbert goes to Washington and the video clip is hilarious. Comedy Central host of the Colbert Report went to Congress on an invitation, and subsequently made a mockery of the entire institution. Political pundits and bloggers are eating up his antics, which were shocking considering where he was.

Colbert was speaking about an AgJobs bill, which would bring citizenship to illegals that work in Agriculture. These are the fruit/veggie pickers in the country.

As such, Colbert was asked to leave - and many are still talking about the appearance. He did it in character, and his humor was appreciated more by the press than it was the actual politicians he was addressing.

When asked if he was an expert after spending a day on a farm, Colbert replied that studying anything for a day makes him an expert (he was being sarcastic.)
