Stephen heads to Wall Street to gain the trust of Occupy Wall Street protesters and take over the movement.

Probably not the best people to pick to represent the movement - but that's also probably why Colbert picked them. It is hard with these kinds of PC lefties to know when they are being serious or not. Any normal, sane person would take only two minutes of conversation with these two OWS glitterati to come to the accurate conclusion that they were a complete waste of time.

But to the point - who else should have been picked to 'represent' OWS? I mean really. Of all the guys down there, who would have done a better job of exemplifying exactly what OWS 'is'? The only consistent message they have is "We hate Wall Street". OK. Most folks can agree that WS/Banks acted recklessly, and have been given way too much political payola. And the next step is...? Is...? To wave your fingers?

That's where OWS and normal, sane people part company. OWS has no sane, rational position beyond "we're mad at Wall Street excess". People agree with that. Everything else OWS says might as well be coming from martians.
