Stephen Colbert and freshman Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) play the Rock Band version of Colbert's own Charlene (I'm Right Behind You).
Chaffetz, who has previously leg-wrestled Colbert, earns a disappointing 24% score for the song's guitar track, while Colbert racks up a perfect score on vocals.
Still, credit to Chaffetz where it's due. How many Congress types would be willing to try Rock Band on national TV?

UPDATE: Glen Warchol of the Salt Lake Tribune finds Chaffetz's antics "excruciatingly mortifying:"
Is there a[n] information medium that freshman Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz won't exploit?
Besides Twittering and participating in a CNN reality show on life as a rookie congressman, Chaffetz allowed faux political pundit Stephen Colbert to humiliate him in leg wrestling, Rock Band and even subject him to a facial. Warning: Watch at your own risk. It is so excruciatingly mortifying, you may want to crawl under a chair for C[h]affetz.

Any chance someone can link to this hosted on a site that isn't Comedy Central, so those of us not in the US can enjoy it?
Hmmm....
Try this direct link
Nope, ColbertNation's content is all hosted by Comedy Central, which boots anyone which isn't based in the US. In my case (Canada), they try to redirect me to The Comedy Network, but they don't have the clip.
I love Colbert, but man, that song is terrible!
