Wow, that's great. I watched it through, and at the end he was also talking about one of Dean's new inventions for DOD called a Super Jumper that can take a solder from ground level to the top of a 4 or 5 story building in about a second or so. Can't wait to see that video. I guess it's Colbert's nature, but he was sort of an butt (this program doesn't let you spell ***) in the interview. However he did highlight several of Dean's inventions which was good.
