Lawmakers, Media to Ride Colbert Press Coattails

Stephen Colbert got yet another member of Congress – Rep. Zoe Lofgren – to play along with him last night on his show. The interview took place in what looked to be a  hayloft. Lofgren, a California Democrat, is one in a long line of lawmakers who haven’t heeded the warnings of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who, as Democratic Caucus Chair in 2007, began warning newly elected Dems to steer clear of risky” appearances on “The Colbert Report.”
