Let's Play A Game! See If You Can Guess The One Guy In America Unhappy About Colbert:

If you guessed Rush Limbaugh, you guessed correctly!

Lots of people have congratulated Stephen Colbert on taking over as host of CBS' "Late Show," but Rush Limbaugh isn't one of them. In fact, to hear the radio host tell it, Colbert's new job is nothing less than a grave political, constitutional, and moral crisis in American television.

"CBS has just declared war on the heartland of America," Limbaugh fumed. "No longer is comedy going to be a covert assault on traditional American values, conservatism. Now it's just wide out in the open. What this hire means is a redefinition of what is funny, and a redefinition of what is comedy. They're blowing up the 11:30 format... they hired a partisan, so-called comedian, to run a comedy show."

Given the insane amount of Viagra and pain killers he's abused over the years. Oh and when I think of comedy Rush Limbaugh comes to mind! After all, he was a good source of it during the W years!

What a nasty putz. He's taken over our air waves from morning till night for years on multiple channels.

I hope Stephen makes an icon for him like Ham Rove and starts in on day one.

His one night as a talk show host on CBS is infamous for just how bad it was.
