Colbert: Limbaugh is a Prostitute Who Will Do Anything With His Mouth For Cash

Nice.

That's basically the point I was trying to make earlier, but the Colbert team does it better.

Although it's not really a fair comparison. Sluts and prostitutes do nothing to pollute the minds of voters. They don't undermine civil public discourse, nor distort people's reasoning about politics. Limbaugh is basically the Tokyo Rose of the right, spreading disinformation and promoting a twisted, hate-filled, irrational perspective that has helped send American conservatism into the deranged death-spiral that currently threatens the country.

So sorry, sluts and prostitutes. The comparison is unfair to you.

It's also unfair, incidentally, to call Limbaugh stupid. Stupid people can't help it. Limbaugh probably rises to the level of more-or-less average intelligence. He knows that he's spewing falsehoods and disinformation. He does it for money, and for the adulation. Although, like the best bullshitters and liars, he seems to half-believe his own bullshit and lies, I doubt that he'd bet his life or even significant money on the things he says. Limbaugh isn't stupid, he's evil.
