Stephen Colbert's "434-part" Congressional profile "Better Know a District" stopped just outside the nation's capital yesterday for an interview with Rep. Tom Davis, who represents northern Virginia.

Davis' district happens to be the home of Doobie Brothers drummer John "Tiny" Hartman, which prompted the following from Colbert:

"Are you familiar with what a doobie is," Colbert asked. "It's the same thing as a dutchie, ganja, spleef, chronic."

"That's a foreign language to me," Davis cut in. "We have 120 foreign languages in Fairfax County spoken in our schools."

"Oh, they're speaking this in your schools," Colbert quipped. "I guarantee."
