Congressman Lynn Westmoreland

It’s a sad truth that the best journalists today are comedians.  When Congressman Lynn Westmoreland ran for office in Georgia, he was interviewed dozens of times by journalists, and many stories were written about him.  None of them were particularly insightful, and he won the election. Journalists today are afraid to "attack" anybody in Congress, to go one-on-one, and find out if a candidate has the intelligence and wisdom to lead us.

Fortunately, for us, and the good people of Georgia’s Eight District, Congressman Westmoreland recently appeared on The Colbert Report.  Stephen Colbert asked about Westmoreland’s major piece of legislation, a bill which would have the 10 Commandment’s hung in courthouses.  However, when asked to list the 10 Commandment’s, Westmoreland could only list 3.  His staff claims it was actually 7, but either way, if you think they are so great, you should know them all offhand.

Thank you Stephen Colbert, for exposing this man as a complete idiot trying to manipulate people by pitting church against state. If Stephen Colbert could interview every politician, a lot would come off looking good, and a lot would be realized as people who really shouldn’t be leading our country (like Ted Stevens).

P.S.  The Ten Commandment’s are (off the top of my head):
Don’t worship false idols
Don’t take the lord’s name in vain
Observe the Sabbath
Don’t steal
Don’t murder
Honor thy mother and father
Don’t bear false witness
Don’t commit adultery
Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife
Or any of his other possessions
