Republican Congressman Westmoreland appeared on the Colbert Report where he was asked about the Ten Commandments:

Colbert: You have not introduced a single piece of legislation since you entered Congress.

Westmoreland: That’s correct.

Colbert: This has been called a do nothing Congress. Is it safe to say you’re the do nothingest?

Westmoreland: I, I, ..Well there’s one other do nothiner. I don’t know who that is, but they’re a Democrat.

Colbert: What can we get rid of to balance the budget?

Westmoreland: The Dept. of Education.

Colbert: What are the Ten Commandments?

Westmoreland: You mean all of them?–Um… Don’t murder. Don’t lie. Don’t steal Um… I can’t name them all.

He sponsors a bill about them, but can’t name them? Priceless.
