y'know, as "off" as Colbert was on that, I honestly think he was doing a "good thing" by having Dean on there. Having read and watched a bit about Colbert's non-television life, I honestly think he's a bit of an idealist like Dean. That being said, having him on the show is a bit more difficult because, as someone suggested, there's not much comedy in it. But think of how many people may have actually thought, if only briefly, to consider the concept of encouraging America's youth to solve tomorrow's problems.

I honestly believe that both Colbert and Dean would want to see that happen. While Colbert makes his money in comedy, I think he's a lot more well-grounded and idealistic than his persona leads people to believe.
