Robert Wexler on The Colbert Report
You may have heard what happened the first time Robert Wexler, the Boca Raton congressman, appeared on The Colbert Report. Let's just say it was a tad controversial.
In his most recent visit last Thursday, it was a bit tamer -- Wexler's got a book to sell and two opponents this election year, so no jokes about using illegal drugs or enjoying the company of prostitutes. Bummer. But there are still some funny moments.
Watch the clip and see for yourself how he does:
Now here's my question: Does Colbert have to have Wexler's opponents on, in the name of equal time?

Regarding Colbert being required to have to bring a conservative on for equal time. The answer is NO. Reagan got rid of that provision in 1988, therefore giving way to Rush Limbaugh taking to the air waves a short time after.
