CBS prepares to nuke Nebraska
War in the east, War in the west, War up north, War down south,
There is war, And the rumors of war.
Until that day, There is no continent, Which will know peace.
Or so goes the Bob Marley Song, made famous again by Sinead O’Connor… and…
War?
“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.”

Redefinition of what is comedy.
Interesting to note that one poll showing a large swarth of “conservatives” irony detector not working when viewing Stephen Colbert. In a previous declaration of war against the “heartland of America”, polls showed people having no problem with the opinions expressed by Archie Bunker.
It is interesting to note that in the same way that Jon Stewart replaced Craig Kilbourne to do the same show, in theory someone could replace “Stephen Colbert” to do the same show.
