Colbert takes out Rep. Chaffetz

Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert sympathizes with Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz on the controversy surrounding Chaffetz's scheme to put illegal aliens in "tent camps":
When did rounding up people you don't like in your country and putting them in camps get a bad name?
Colbert goes on to offer Utah's newest congressman additional innovative border-protection ideas: Dip Mexicans in florescent paint so they would be more visible crossing the border and filling the Rio Grande with acid.

You also can watch Colbert force Chaffetz to say "Hi, Sweetness," to his snub-nosed revolver, then defeat the Congressman in leg wrestling here.

Chaffetz knew what he was getting into when he agreed to the interview with Colbert, of course, and is an amazingly good sport about it.
