Steven Colbert – a person who’d still be playing character parts on\u00a0Law and Order\u00a0<\/em>if there weren’t a wave of pervasive liberal smugness to ride – is in a bit of “trouble” for saying the sort of thing that would have gotten a Congressional hearing if Rush Limbaugh had said it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s all just wind in sails, of course; Urban Liberal Privilege means that there’s no penalty for violating PC codes when one is attacking apostates (and as an NYC plutocrat, who\u00a0should\u00a0<\/em>be a “progressive” and\u00a0was\u00a0<\/em>a Democrat, Trump is surely an apostate).<\/p>\n

Honestly? \u00a0Up until the last year or two, I’d have figured it would fly for the same reason that black people can drop the n-bomb or the Irish can call themselves “harps” but have license to pound the stuffing out of anyone else who does; I always figured Colbert was gay.<\/p>\n

I’m told he’s not.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t care either way. \u00a0I’ve seen a lifetime grand total of 40 minutes of Colbert. \u00a0I don’t plan to add to it. \u00a0Ever. \u00a0Even if he has a late-life epiphany and becomes a conservative firebrand<\/em>. \u00a0His delivery, his style, and even the timbre of his voice annoy the living bejeebers out of me. Also, he’s just not very funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
