I have to admit that Stephen Colbert makes me laugh. I came across this article in the Red Eye (a free daily we read all the time while waiting for the EL in Chicago). I just like the entire thing Colbert has put together. Here is the article:Colbert declares war on Kanye

Stephen Colbert has declared war on Kanye West.
In an attempt to take over the top album spot on iTunes currently occupied by Kanye's "808s & Heartbreak" and drum up sales for his own Christmas album, the faux-news host launched "Operation Humble Kanye" on "The Colbert Report" Monday night. (Colbert's "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All" is currently in 16th place.)
Colbert knocked Kanye's recent declaration that he's the voice of his generation saying, "with all the auto-tuning on your records you're barely the voice of your own albums."
"You want to be the voice of a generation—get in line," Colbert continues. "It goes me, Obama Girl, the freecreditreport.com guys—then it's a tie between you and Crocs."
We eagerly await West's all-caps blog rebuttal.

I particularly like the crack about the auto-tuning. You can see the article in its original home HERE. I really hope Colbert wins.
