In his own crazy satire, Our Bodies stands for the truth against the truthiness. I know what you mean by his commentary being "forced" a bit here, though. He's not really in his persona. This is more Swiftian satire -- a la "Modest Proposal" -- rather than Colbert's more subtle breakdown of conservative ideology. I love it that Colbert puts Our Bodies front and center.
