Congressman Jason Chaffetz chats with Stephen Colbert
February 27, 2009 By
Congressman Chaffetz again proves his it-getting abilities by featuring a chat with Stephen Colbert on his website. Stephen peering over Chaffetz’s shoulder at the beginning of the video is a scream, as is Stephen’s reaction to the segment at the end.

February 27, 2009 By

February 27, 2009 By

They’re so much fun (I miss you, Tad!), I thought I’d re-embed and/or link them here for everyone: Alabama Miracle – Helen Keller Museum: Tad the building manager travels to Colbert County to found The Stephen [...]
