In addition to a baby eagle and a local sports team mascot, Stevel Colbert now has a flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream named in honor of him.
Ha!
And some of the profits will go to a charitable foundation.
About time Colbert show those left-wing hippies at Ben and Jerry’s what’s what. Those guys are so liberal that there should be bears on the packages. (They even have a campaign against global warming. Hey, Ben and/or Jerry: if the earth is so warm, how come your ice cream isn’t melting?) And they’ve even got eco-friendly packaging! Stephen’s ice cream should come in a good ol’-fashioned Styrofoam® container.
Is it the Bush 2008 reelection campaign? (And don’t say it can’t happen. Stephen has quite a pull in Washington…or so he says.)
I can’t wait until I’m able to sit back and relax with a pint of Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream™ in one hand and a copy of Stephen Colbert’s Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure in the other. Hey, if Stephen can get those dairrorists at Ben and Jerry’s to get an ice cream named after him, he can do anything!
They should’ve made a Stephen Colbert’s Formula 401 Ice Cream. For the ladies.
Of course not.
As someone on another message board noted, it’d have to be the Stephen and Melinda Gates Foundation.
A true American patriot like Stephen Colbert would never have anything to do with those left-wing hippie freedom-haters at Ben & Jerry’s. They must have injected him with their commie marihuana. I’m mounting a daring commando mission to rescue him right now and I need a crack team of SDMB specialists to sign on. I’m sure there’s one communications specialist, one huge guy, one sniper, and one beautiful female cat-burglar with a mysterious past who can’t be trusted but will eventually prove that the real Ben & Jerry’s double agent was the sniper here among us.
I can be the nerdy computer guy who keeps getting turned down by the beautiful cat-burglar. And if there’s no room for me on the actual mission team, I’ll be the guy who tells you ‘Don’t do this! It will never work! For God’s sake man, it’s a suicide mission!’
Sometimes I like to say to the wife, “can you get me a col’ bare from the fridge?”
So, as far as I’m concerned he already has a beverage named after him.
Don’t forget a member of the Cars.
A “cold bear?” Stephen would have nothing to do with godless killing machines, even if they did represent delicious beer.
While I’m as tickled about the Colbert connection as anyone, I have to say that this is my favorite flavor combo EVAR and has been since Edy’s Dreamery Coney Island Waffle Cone did it a few years ago.
Why did they name an ice cream brand after a African dictator, anyway? And for some reason, it’s known as “Dreyer’s” on the west coast. Look, Sybill, pick a name and stick with it.
That’s hilarious. It sounds pretty tasty, and I love that it has his name and picture on it. I’m also glad I heard about this today when I’m seeing a taping of the Report tonight.
It does indeed sound yummy.

at bouv for scooping her on the scoop OP*
Huh?
(Sorry, I might be getting whooshed for the second time today. Cold medicine, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!)
I think mobo is suggesting that Edy=Idi. As for the Dryers/Edys/Breyers thing, I believe this is how things went down…Breyers originated in the East (Philadelphia) in 1882. Dryers originated in the West (Oakland) in 1928. Once both operations expanded distribution such that their similar names caused consumer confusion, Dryers launched “Edy’s” as their eastern brand name. Edy is the last name of Dryer’s business partner.
Yes. Not really, of course- it just sounds like something Stephen Colbert might say.
Now, what’s in Jon Stewart’s ice cream flavour?
Bagel and shmear? 
“The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth”…there’s a sex joke in there somewhere.
