Striking writers take act to D.C.

Striking writers take act to D.C.. "The striking writers behind Jon Stewart's fake news show and Stephen Colbert's fake talk show came here to explain to real lawmakers Wednesday a strike that has crippled creative television and threatens to wreck the Oscars. But knowing it can be difficult to get a lawmaker's attention when not in a Learjet or on the links, the brains behind two of Comedy Central's most-watched shows couched the issues in terms Washington could understand: a mock debate."

To prove they are really funny, their mock debate included mocking protesters, one in a pink shirt the other in green. Video here.
