Entertainment requires that people actually be capable of learning their lines and reproducing them. They have continuity people to ensure that there are no abrupt changes that aren’t accounted for in the script. Flip-flopping is not encouraged, and people have to stay in character. Congress is bad ad-libbing.
Michael Steele wasn’t available then, Badtux, so he had to go with Pee-Wee Herman. 😉
