Hannity must be on Colbert's payroll

After Stephen Colbert suggested Sean Hannity could be replaced by a five-year-old child, Hannity went off on the satirist.

First of all, he’s not as funny as Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert will have the lowest-rated late night show. There are issues that just aren’t funny. Terrorism isn’t funny. I didn’t see the bit. I won’t see it. I don’t care.

He rose to the bait. Unbelievable. And he came off like ... well, like a five-year-old in the process, fulfilling the gag. Could Colbert have scripted a better response?

Hannity is secretly being paid by Comedy Central. That's the only explanation.
