As previously reported here on the No Fact Zone, Congressman Phil Hare of the “Fightin’ 17th” (D-IL) is scheduled to tape a segment with Stephen on March 9th. The Quad-City Times offers more information as to why:
What’s the skeleton in Phil Hare’s closet?
February 14th, 2007 by Ed TibbettsIllinois’ 17th congressional district (the fightin’ 17th) is about to get exposed to the nation.
The real nation. Colbert Nation.
. . .
When he was first approached about going on the show, Hare wasn’t sure whether he should do it and said he hadn’t really seen the show that much. It airs at 10:30 p.m. locally.
He’s apparently changed his mind. Schlittner says Hare’s been watching the program a little more and is ready to have a little fun, even if it’s at his own expense.
“I think one of the things Cong. Hare says is he takes this job seriously, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously,” he said.
Tip of the hat to Rep. Hare for tuning in to this excellent show, and an even bigger hat tip for his recognizing that subjecting himself to “Stephen’s” interrogatories is simply good fun (and not a political risk). Bravo, sir!
