Sweet, Sweet Freedom

Americone DreamWho doesn’t like ice cream? Communists. That’s who.

Which is exactly why this new flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is so damn appropriate. It’s an important marker in our destiny as a nation when a fake news show can spinoff a fake conservative talking head who can spawn a flavor of sweet decadence. Even our comrads will enjoy the delicious taste of the AmeriCONE Dream.

Stephen Colbert may have no taste for the truth, but he does have a sweet tooth. Ben & Jerry’s has named a new ice cream in honor of the comedian: “Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream.”

It’s vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel.

Announcing the new flavor Wednesday, Ben & Jerry’s called it: “The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth.”

The Vermont-based ice-cream maker is known for naming its flavors after people such as Jerry Garcia, Wavy Gravy and the band Phish — which Colbert sees as a political bias.

“I’m not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda,” Colbert said in a statement. “What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case.”

Colbert, who spoofs flag-waving conservative pundits on his Comedy Central show, “The Colbert Report,” is donating his proceeds to charity through the new Stephen Colbert Americone Dream Fund, which will distribute the money to various causes.

And that’s The Word.
