"Protecting America's Harvest" Stephen Colbert Congressional Hearing

Colbert says he is happy and honored to be there, to share his "vast experience" of working on a farm for one day, and hopes his fame will get this show bumped up to "C-SPAN ONE."
He offers to prove the value of vegetables by entering his colonoscopy into the Congressional record.
By the way, the comedy is way too fast for this liveblogger!
Colbert says he "rejects the idea" that Americans won't do farmwork because he is an American and he did it, in an effort to prove that he already had a way better job. He jokes that in November, a lot of Democrats are going to know what it's like to lose a good job. "I do mean this sincerely...please don't make me do this again."
"Apparently, the invisible hand doesn't pick beans." Adam Smith comedy.
"I'm not a fan of the government doing anything, but I have to wonder, why isn't the government doing anything? Like me, it's possible that they haven't read the bill." He then does the inversion thing, where he comes out in favor of the bill, along with a rather cutting, subtle admonishment that Congress doesn't always seem to act with much urgency.
