Chaffetz admits he lost — twice — to Colbert

I remember him missing FG attempts in a loss to Utah.

Jason chaffetz got a facial from Steven Colbert? I thought he was against that kind of activity...

That was a bit creepy- seeing Jason and Colbert laying on the ground together. And now we hear they did it twice? Twice- a far as we know!!

Sounds like a Cougar to me.

I saw the episode online earlier today and thought it was hilarious.

The video was obviously edited to make Chaffetz appear like an idiot, but then again it is a comedy central show and Colbert makes pretty much all of his guests look like idiots.

Who's next, Barney Frank?

Wow, I can totally see that happening. And Guitar Hero and a facial sounds like fun. That was an awesome segment, and it sounds like Colbert rocks at everything he ever tries on camera! W00t! Awesome clip, I wouldn't mind seeing Chaffetz on again. :)

and by twice you mean three times?

We are now seeing the cult of Chaffetz. This is the same illogical crowd that supports their horse no matter what. When it came to Bush, had Bush been arrested for robbing a liquor store these people would have first given a bravo to Bush for saving alcoholics from drink, then attacked the Democratis for being partisan. And of course somehow blamed the whole episode on terrorism and assured us that the Constitution was just fine with no Bill of Rights.

Now we have the cult of Chaffetz. He can flip-flop on issue after issue, insist on rounding up all Hispanics into his concentration camps, I mean deportation centers, and even act the complete fool on TV, and it is all good. No matter what Chaffetz does it was the fight thing. He can promise socialized energy policies. He can attack shale oil. He can attack pork barrel politics then promise to bring home the bacon for the Huntsman cancer center. He can do any number of big Dukakis Democrat projects and the cult of Chaffetz will tell us how wonderful it is.

Scary, these people actually get to vote!

How many news stories are going to come out of this leg-wrestling match? We don't care!

Jeez, Jordan, lighten up. These commenters sound more like Colbert fans than Chaffetz supporters. They probably appreciate a representative who isn't so full of himself that he can't horse around a little like a normal human being. Your horse lost, BIG TIME, for the very simple reason that he got too full of himself, so give it a rest already.

Lighten up? Are you serious? Did you bother to listen to anything Chaffetz said during his campaign? America is about the same position we were in back in 1932. We just elected a President who was horrible on finances (Roosevelt), which piled on top of horrible decisions made by the outgoing President (Hoover) and the result was the Great Depression. Even Ben Bernanke admitted it was failed policies that caused the Great Depression, not some mystical fair god mother.

And while we face another Hoover (Bush) mess being followed by another Roosevelt New Deal (Obama) our Congressman plays footsy with any media type that will print his picture. Oh, sorry, he is going to sleep on a $45 cot. Great. And then vote for millions of dollars of pork barrell politics in the form of medical research.

Lighten up? And then he gets the exact same committee assignments as Cannon, so obviously the only change there is whether or not Chaffetz can vote as conservative as Cannon, but certainly we lost seniority.

In any case, don't expect me to giggle everytime Chaffetz makes a fool of this state. His cult followers must wake-up, hopefully soon enough.
