Hatch bit at about 1:45. Chaffetz takes over at 5:13.
Utah's congressional delegation is providing the late night comedians with an never-ending flow of material.
Last night on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host got some well-deserved laughs out of both Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
Colbert called Chaffetz a "seductive beaver," though anyone who reads the Pat Bagley cartoons in the Salt Lake Tribune knows that Chaffetz is really a groundhog. Or whatever creature that was that sat next to Jabba the Hut. Or Elmer Fudd. Or something.
Colbert also sort of expanded the oft-repeated, and oft-censored, line about the part of the female anatomy that the president once said he could get away with grabbing, suggesting that a certain gender-specific part of Chaffetz's person had also been seized. And might be mailed back to him.
So, beware. Some salty language here.
Won't somebody think about his wife? Or his daughter?
One extremely clever line that hardly got a laugh. Colbert said, "I'm Tivoing democracy. So don't tell me how it ends."
With thunderous applause, of course.
