Carl Pope Discusses the Sexuality of Our Nat'l Parks

Carl Pope is the executive director of the Sierra Club, which has recently been under attack for partnering with Clorox (also here) for their Green Works line of cleaners. On July 21, 2008 he was a guest on the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. If you are not familiar with the Colbert Report, the show spoofs Republicans. It can be quite funny at times.
In the interview Stephen Colbert asks hard-hitting questions like "Are you in with the pocket of big caribou"and "have you gone all the way with a tree". They also discuss which parks are straight, bi or gay.
The clip is 7 minutes long but really funny. Enjoy.

That was pretty funny. It's a bit sad that he had to be so PC, though. If he'd loosened up, he could have had a lot more fun with Colbert and possibly dispelled the rumors that environmentalists can be real sticks in the mud.

Chile-That is true. He looked like he had no clue to who Colbert was. And I bet he has to maintain a "clean" image for Sierra.
