Anyone know the Ten Commandments?
-
It was an interview of Congressman Lynn Westmoreland by Stephen Colbert about a bill that he co-sponsored. When asked what the Ten Commandments were, he could not name them all.

I did some googling, but couldn't locate a transcript. If it helps, here are some other links to it: - WMP[^] - QuickTime[^] - Comedy Central[^] (Click on "Better Know a District" -- The commandment's part is towards the end.) Alvaro

The conversation went approximately like this: Congressman Westmoreland: there's no better place than to put the 10 commandments than in a public building. I cannot think of a better place to put them. Stephen Colbert: You cannot think of a better place to put them than in a public building? Congressman: No. And if we don't, we might well lose our way. Colbert: What are the 10 commandments? Congressman: You want me to name them all? colbert: yes. Congressman: Don't murder.... don't lie.... don't steal.... That's all I can think of/remember. colbert: thank you very much congressman for taking time out of your busy schedule for an interview.

Hmmmm...I wonder how much of the Communist Manifesto Howard Dean has memorized.

I don't care much for that Daily Show guy at all, but Colbert is pretty hilarious.

That last line by Colbert should be: "...thank you for keeping the sabbath day holy to talk to me."

How much of Mein Kampf have you memorized? I suspect it's about the same.

Is that such a big deal? I can't name them all either.

Okay - I've managed to get the video to download. And I think it must be because he can't remember them.

A congressman advocating the placement of them in a public building should know them. It just shows that he doesn't really know what he's voting on. BW
