What's up with that?!

http://news.yahoo.com/colbert-report-off-air-comedy-central-mum-173858178.html

NEW YORK (AP) — Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" is off the air and it's a mystery why.

An expected new episode of the show was replaced by a repeat on Wednesday. Comedy Central said Thursday's live show will be off, too.

The network said it was airing the repeats "due to unforeseen circumstances," but offered no other explanation. A person close to the show, who wasn't authorized to speak publically on the matter, told The Associated Press that new episodes are expected to return soon.

A publicist for Colbert declined to comment.

I find it hard to sympathize for those who make a great living off of mocking others. I thought Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction was karmic. I hope Colbert's family member is OK, but I could not care less about how any malady affects him personally.

Granted, you don't make a living off it, but you frequently mock others in your posts.

Karma is watching.

Yes, that's the difference. Everybody on this board mocks others from time to time. Nobody does it for a living.

I suppose I may have been a bit harsh on Colbert and Limbaugh. They're mere jesters who make a lot of money demonizing people. They are a big part of the divisiveness in this country, though.

I don't think colbert ever mocks the misfortune of others. He tends to find hypocracy to mock. Or sometimes sheer ignorance/stupidity. I think he's not in because of an illness, which is something he would never mock. If you don't know, colbert breaks character on certain serious issues.

My "idiot" comment was just me "working", BTW, and mocking as everyone else does. For the record.

As for comparing Colbert and Limbaugh.... Yeah, Limbaugh is pretty much worthless. Colbert is a comedian. He's paid to make people laugh. He doesn't prance around like people should follow and respect him. Anyone looking for that or believing it would be truly ignorant. As westnob is saying, he doesn't look for a reason to mock people, he simply highlights a lot of political hypocrisy through comedy. If anyone takes him seriously or as gospel, that's their prerogative or idiocy.

I got it and thought it was funny. Subtle humor, yet topical and with an edge. Well done.
 
is limbaugh a comedian? i guess i dont see the parallel
 
I don't think Colbert is even 1% as mean-spirited as Limbaugh. The comparison doesn't hold water.
 
Lefties defend their guy. Righties yet to respond.

Welcome to the Colbert/Limbaugh America.

Are you fucking kidding? Give me an example of Colbert doing something hurtful and mean-spirited.

“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

Colbert is back. He was with his 90+ year old mother. He'll probably say what was up on Monday's show.

IIRC Colbert is the youngest of like ten or twelve children so they probably have a good enough support network that he doesn't need to be off work for a long time (supposing she is in a bad way).

None of those were actually said by Rush Limbaugh. You fell for fake quotes. Limbaugh denied all of those, and no audio has ever been provided by those who smeared him with those words.

Link your source and provide audio. If not, I have to assume that you just believe everything some left-wing blog feeds to you.

Rush Limbaugh

Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything"

He was talking about when the NFL was fining players for flipping gang signs after TDs. Do you remember when that was happening?

The rest of them you got had on. I'm no fan of Limbaugh, but I'm an even lesser fan of ignorance, which you displayed quite nicely.

You seem ignorant. Congrats.

LOL you have been caught saying "none of them" were true. I'm happy to leave it at that. I probably won't be able to find digital copies of his quotes. I like how you cry out about my ignorance.

3/4 of what you posted were outright fabrications.

You got caught being ignorant. It took me 2 minutes to fact check your post.
