Colbert: ‘Rush Will Do Anything With His Mouth For Cash’

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert, weighing in on the latest controversy surrounding Rush Limbaugh, says it takes a “slut” to know one.

Limbaugh, after smearing a Georgetown University law student who testified at a House hearing, has apologized for his poor choice of words. But not before more than a dozen companies pulled their advertisements from his program.

“He only apologized to keep his advertisers,” Colbert said Monday, “proving Rush will do anything with his mouth for cash.”
