Colbert gets his talons on the Sierra Club
Stephen Colbert has apparently run low on members of congress that will appear on his show and is now going after lobbyists. I was actually up late enough the other night to catch Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club parry Stephens witty digs quite well.
Colbert asks Pope personal questions such as whether he has actually hugged a tree or gone all the way with one. He also tries to pin down Pope's feelings about the presidents green policies -- or lack there of. Finally he takes a dig at Pope's use of carbon miles to fly everywhere. I'll keep my mouth shut about the funniest points so as not to ruin the video. Enjoy!
The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 by John Muir. Their mission is to "protect the wild places on earth." They have a number of lobbyists on the payroll in D.C. as well as other key locations. Sierra headquarters are in San Francisco. Carl Pope has been executive director since 1992.
