Colbert: 1, Congressman Westmoreland: 0

On June 14th, 2006, Congressman Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia appeared on The Colbert Report.

Congressman co-sponsored a bill to place the Ten Commandments in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. When asked to name all the commandments he was only able to remember three; one, “don’t lie,” was only partially correct (the Ninth Commandment is an injunction against “bearing false witness against your neighbor,” not lying per se). Westmoreland’s press secretary claims Westmoreland actually got up to about seven of the Ten Commandments before petering out, but that part was edited out.

Well, now I guess there’s a reason to display the Ten Commandments - for the Congressman’s sake.
