Really, when you think of Stephen Colbert, dessert is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, Ben & Jerry's has unveiled their latest flavor of ice cream: 'Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream'. Though rumors had previously guessed that the flavor might be either 'a patriotic mix of strawberry, blueberry and vanilla flavors, striped in the pint with chocolate stars', or... 'Republican Nut, with each pint lovingly sampled by Dick Cheney to insure product quality', it seems the actual mix will be vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel.

As quoted by the comedian: "I'm not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda. What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case."

Apparently, Colbert will be donating all his proceeds to various causes and charities via the brand new Stephen Colbert Americone Dream Fund.

So, no profits go to the Steven and Melinda Gates foundation? Also, aren't waffles more of a symbol of the democrats these days? I guess we should be glad it doesn't contain mayonnaise.

Well technically Stephen Colbert (pronounced colbear) is a die hard Republican but is used to portray a satire of the party (make fun of by imitating)..Im gonna buy me a dozen as soon as go grocery shopping again!

They still don't have it here in the central valley of California :( I am going to have to make a drive for this one to San Francisco! I bet they have one at their ice cream shop! Perfect excuse for a road trip!

B,
Whatever waffles may symbolize, the entire show is based on poking fun of republicans..it's a parody of The O'Reilly Factor. And for the record, Colbert is a self-pronounced Democrat (cited by the Washington Post), as well as a practicing Roman Catholic and a Sunday School teacher. May the Republicans all go to hell.
