			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert_(character)">Stephen Colbert</a> is a comedic genius. He skewers the world of TV punditry by acting out an extreme version of the pundits themselves (of course, even in his extremes, he&#8217;s often right on target).</p>
<p>One of the funniest parts of his show, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colbert_Report">The Colbert Report</a>, is his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Know_A_District">Better Know a District </a>series, in which he interviews members of Congress (it was to have 435 parts until Colbert retired <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/28/AR2005112801827.html">convicted bribe-taker Duke Cunningham&#8217;s</a> district).This past Thursday saw Stephen Colbert interviewing <a href="http://www.house.gov/adamsmith/">Washington state representative Adam Smith</a>. In between discussions of rhubarb, secret intelligence-gathering programs, and whether he supports <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nambla">NAMBLA</a> (he does not, it turns out), Colbert informed Rep. Smith that he is a member of 29 caucuses, which was news to the congressman.</p>
<p>One of these caucuses, Colbert pointed out, is the Soccer Caucus. (If you&#8217;re wondering, yes, this does exist, although <a href="http://www.ussoccerfoundation.org/site/c.gpLPJQOpHkE/b.883103/k.7F22/Congressional_Soccer_Caucus.htm">its membership</a> has not been updated since the 2006 elections.)</p>
<p>Colbert got his best <a href="http://www.laradiodelmundial.com/andres.htm">Andres Cantor</a> on and asked Smith, &#8220;You&#8217;re on the soccer caucus &#8230; what are some of the soccer caucus&#8217; gooooooals?&#8221; Watch it for yourself (the soccer bit comes with 0:45 seconds left).</p>
