					<description><![CDATA[I remember Lamar Smith from when Stephen Colbert testified before Congress.

Democrats were embarrassed when Colbert showed up in character.  Lamar Smith found the whole thing amusing and actually flummoxed Colbert a bit by asking him serious questions and he was forced to agree with Lamar since he was in character.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#062;Smith also noted that Trump would pretty much do whatever Smith and the Heartland Institute want him do to: 

Where does he say that?  That is something that Trump hating Republicans are hoping for, but I see nothing to support that.  It appears to be Greg Laden&#039;s words, not even the source article&#039;s, which says
&lt;blockquote&gt;
In fact, as Smith told one audience member who worried that Trump might renege on some to his campaign promises, the sky’s the limit when it comes to dismantling the past 8 years of environmental regulations.

“I think the president has ushered in a permanent change in the political climate,” Smith asserted. “And by that I mean I think he’ll keep his promises and that he’ll do exactly what he said. You’re seeing that in his appointments, like Scott Pruitt at EPA, for example. So … I don’t think you’ll have any disappointment on any of those issues.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nothing like &#039;Trump is our puppet and will do what we say.&#039;]]></description>
