BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY? One of the funniest things I ever saw on television was the Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland's inability to name all Ten Commandments on the Stephen Colbert show; funny, because Westmoreland was on the show for the very reason that he advocated wider knowledge of those commandments. No wonder then, that Rahm Emanuel in his role as the Democratic Caucus chairman doesn't like baby Democratic politicians to go on Colbert's show. They might fall flat on their faces, too, because Colbert will encourage that to happen. After all, he is in the comedy bidness. What does Emanuel think about these same members of the Congress participating in the political shows of Fox News? There's the same encouragement towards falling flat on ones face without the compensating humor, and the skills of negotiating those dangers are no more common than the skills of winning against an experienced comedian. --J.Goodrich
