John Heilemann, co-author of the new and immediate bestseller "Game Change," spoke to Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report last night. He refuted Colbert's claims that there weren't enough sources cited, and claimed that he and co-author Mark Halperin "talked to everyone" involved with the 2008 campaign, including those "without an ax to grind." Colbert was a little miffed that they never talked to him, though.

Colbert also started off the show unable to put down his copy of "Game Change." In preparation for his interview with John Heilemann, Colbert shared some of the juicier details from the book. "But," Colbert said, "what really makes this a page-turner is the authors don't bog it down with dead weight like sources or attribution."
