Stephen Colbert: “Muchos huevos grandes”

The new sketch comedy show The Whitest Kids U’ Know has asked an important question about balls: who has them, and who needs them?

NEW YORK, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ — “You have got balls!” While it may appear to be an insult, it’s really a grudging compliment — an off-color testament to a person’s confidence, fearlessness and take-no-prisoners approach to life.

To mark the premiere of its uncensored and very “ballsy” new sketch comedy series, The Whitest Kids U’ Know, the IFC cable network asked Americans a direct and unprecedented question — to name the politicians, political pundits and entertainment stars they think have the most major cojones…and those who are most in need of more testosterone in their public lives!

. . .

So which politicians, pundits and entertainment figures have balls…and who most needs them? Here’s the word from the 1,500 respondents to IFC’s “Who’s Got ‘Em?” survey.

. . .

Which political pundit is the most “ballsy?”

Respondents find Stephen Colbert the most ballsy pundit (a whopping 36%). Followed by: Rush Limbaugh (19%), Bill O’Reilly (14%), Keith Olbermann (8%), Chris Matthews, Don Imus, Maureen Dowd (5% each), Lou Dobbs, Arianna Huffington and Sean Hannity rounded out the field (4%, 3% and 1%).

Some of those survey results are pretty hilarious; you should check them out when you get the chance. I’m not surprised that Stephen Colbert was named as the ballsiest pundit, though; I’m only surprised it wasn’t a unanimous vote. Congratulations to Stephen (and his Big Brass Balls)!
