Colbert is having the director of Waiting for Superman on tonight.
I wonder what his take on it will be.

I wonder if he'll be quoting Bill Ayers' brother's response in the Washington Post (terra connection, perhaps?)

I sincerely hope he takes him to the woodshed, but really don't have any idea how he feels about this load of corporate BS being foisted on us by the likes of Arne and Oprah

lots of negative comments at the Post, some justified, many coming from a very anti-teacher/anti-union POV

what side do you think he'll take on this issue?

1. ''if the kids don't get a good education, will the coastal cities flood?''
director offers coupons to give money spent on movie/book to 'teacher of your choice' so they can buy classroom supplies. WOW! thirty whole bucks for an entire classroom

what a fucking hypocrite (not to mention marketing "genius")
