A link to the hearing website, where you can read Colbert's written testimony. It veers notably from his spoken remarks, at least according to old man Conyers.

Chaffetz from Utah described Colbert as a fake newscaster (that would be Stewart, but whatever) going to a fake hearing. He should remember that Colbert has video of Chaffetz losing badly, and repeatedly, to Colbert in leg wrestling. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/215453/january-08-2009/leg-wrestling-rematch ________________________________ From: Joe Hass <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, September 24, 2010 3:17:51 PM Subject: [TV orNotTV] "Stephen Colbert" appears at House Judiciary Subcommittee Meeting Colbert's character went to a vegetable farm in NY earlier in the year, and was invited to speak as part of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. After being asked to leave by Rep John Conyers, only to be rebuffed by the committee chair who invited him, Colbert gave an opening statement and answered questions from the panel, including Rep Peter King's bizarre attempt to somehow spin a comment Colbert made on his show into a "gotcha" moment. He dropped character only at the end, when asked why he chose to do this (which is the video clip at the bottom).
