Newsweek Jonathan Alter was on the Colbert Report last night promoting his new book. Some funny exchanges ensued.

ALTER: Remember the 1920s… On the economy, we had this idea that if was good for Wall Street, it was good for America.



COLBERT: It is good for Wall Street, it’s good for America. You know how I can prove it? Because now, what’s bad for Wall Street, is also clearly bad for America.
