CBS just officially announced that Stephen Colbert will be replacing David Letterman, but there’s one man who whole heartedly objects.
Rush Limbaugh thinks this will be war on the heartland of America. On April 10th, Limbaugh gave listeners of his radio show an earful.
“CBS has just declared war on the heartland of America. No longer is comedy going to be a covert assault on traditional American values, conservatives. 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. And they’re blowing up the 11:30 format under the guise of that the world’s changing. And people don’t want the kind of comedy that Carson gave us or even Letterman – they don’t want that any more.
…It’s media planting the flag here. …It’s a declaration. There’s no unity in this hire. They hired a partisan so-called comedian to run a comedy show”
