Sen. Bernard SandersSen. Bernard SandersLast night, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders made his national comedy debut on the "Colbert Report" and he was a star. As always he was on message and Comedy Central's Steven Colbert was the perfect foil.

Bernie discussed his usual message of income inequity and the unfairness of capitalism. And with Colbert playful jests, Sen. Sanders made his point brilliantly.

August 7, 2008

"Severe thunderstorms with high wind and heavy rainfall have persisted over a three-week period of time across the state … the impact of these events has been particularly hard on Vermont towns. FEMA resources are critical to help Vermont and its towns respond to this disaster."

– Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Democratic Rep. Peter Welch, in a letter to President Bush requesting federal assistance to cope with storm damage.
