Colbert Joins Democrats

Well, at least at their big retreat today.  Maybe it's because his sis is running for Congress as a Dem in S. Carolina.  Anyway, it was closed to the press but Huff Post has a photo and full report here. 

Members got in a few questions, too, the source said. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) asked what side Colbert's character was on in the so-called "war on women."

"Some of my best friends are women," he said. "I spent nine months in one."

Freshman Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) asked about politicians going on Colbert's show and making themselves look silly. Colbert said the only politician who's really blown it was Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), who touted his legislation to mandate public placement of the Ten Commandments, but then could only name three of them. "He set himself on fire," Colbert said.
