He has been so absolutely obsessed with Iraq that for a few years it was the only thing that he talked about.

I don't believe that the show will become political again until the Republicans have a majority in Congress or a President in the White House. It won't get viewers on the left - nobody would watch someone who attacked their own with that much regularity.
and if he does that (which I don´t think he will) the show will lose popularity (specially outside the US) and he´ll feel the sting.

seems like a self-correcting situation to me.
