"Thinly" is an excellent adverb describing the action of this writer, ready to write Rush off based on a single observation made with regard to Colbert's comedic style vs. Letterman's. There is certainly something to Rush's observation about the comedic style of a Colbert v. Letterman, or even v. Fallon that goes beyond simply the age argument this writer goes on and on about. Colbert is not trying to build rapport with the audience. Compare this with Fallon, for example, who at least tries.

It's as if Johnny Carson had tried to host the Tonight Show as "Art Fern," or "Karnak" or any of his other characters, and no one ever met what he disclosed of his real persona.

Plus, this guy is obviously offended by Rush and Conservative politics, and spends half his column apologizing for it.

This is liberal screed disguised as "gotcha."

It’s a bit of a mystery to me why the networks deliberately ignore the adult audience. When, as a teen, I first started watching Carson, I didn’t expect him to cater to the youth audience. I watched him trying to see how adults operated.
