Common sense would dictate that Rush would be happy for the guy and congratulate him. Nope. A fellow talk show host. Colbert is no threat to the country, no threat to the already sleazy political system we now have where big money rules. I like Colbert and think he is as talented as any other talk show entertainer out there.
And the likes of you and those who thank you for your posts should realize that Rush Limbaugh has no power over the Republican Party, does not claim that he has, does not want any, he is just a guy voicing his opinion.
Whenever liberal TV/radio hosts learn to respect the right of their conservative fellow talk show hosts to express their opinion, whenever liberal TV/radio hosts learn that their conservative fellow talk show hosts are no threat to the already sleazy political system where big money rules, liberal TV/radio talk show hosts can feel that they are not totally hypocritical.
Whenever the talk show hosts on MSNBC feature a guest opposing the opinion set and directed by the Obama worshipping management and parroted by them, night after night, and follow the lead of success displayed by FNC, and stop using the usual gang of idiots time after time, show after show, maybe their message will get through.
Whenever liberal TV/radio hosts start talking FACTS, rather than hatred, maybe then they will get an audience that will pay any attention to what they try to say.
Whenever - and as a normal person, I don't hold my hopes too high - MSNBC gets rid of shakedown artist so-called "Reverend" Sharpton and secret gay Obama worshipper, spineless and loudmouth Chris Matthews, maybe then they will have some credibility.
Whenever Stephen Colbert spends a few dollars to correct his faulty ears, maybe then HE will have some credibility.
Whenever Stephen Colbert develops a sense of humor, which he presently and obviously lacks, maybe then he will have some credibility.
Lucky for him, though, the shoes he has to fill - i.e. Letterman's - are hardly more than slippers worn by a certifiable light weight.
Colbert would be we'll advised to change the stale and moldy writers of the show, because the Top Ten idiocy has worn out its humor and originality sometime before 1974.
