But that is ok to behave like a clown in court too, according to quade.

I guess I missed the post where he said that. Where did he say that?

That guy must think he's a comedian.

stewart is a comedian ? he seems a lot more like a lib commentator , and not so funny , at least to me. maybe if he barbecued more lib sacred cows !

I think he's pretty even handed in his mockery of both sides - and funny much of the time too

To me there's a difference between testifying, whether willingly or unwillingly, and giving a speech. He'd be just as within his rights to lambaste Obama as he was to lambaste Bush.

Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of testifying before Congress, but isn't it akin to testifying in court?

???

Surely you've seen some of the nomination hearings for the Supreme Court, or perhaps the hearings over the 9/11 events. Those are TV ops, dog and pony shows for the legislators to put on a show. No different from what he was doing.

Colbert doesn't pretend he's not an act. Senators do it all the time. I have much more trouble with them. How long did they spend investigating steroids in baseball? How much time did they spend on social security reform? Or any of many vital agenda items?

I used to think that too, but both Colbert's and Stewart's schtick is getting a bit old, but when they do hit one on the head, they can be funny as hell.
I put Colbert and Stewart near the same catagory as Bill Maher except that Maher isn't funny the vast majority of the time, he's just a hateful little man.
