The House heard testimony from a TV comedian. Really, what did they expect?

Actually it's a brilliant move if you're Obama or a House democrat running for reelection. Look at the 'news' that got burried by this circus side-show. New home sales..lowest in 60 years! Testimony re Obama's DOJ and their conduct in the case of the New Black Panther Party. Unemployment numbers Worse than expected..etc..etc. We see the comedy show as a distraction from important issues.. and so do they.
