Too much Bible?

I was watching comedy central the other day and an up-and-coming comedian started slammin' George W.
First the comedian commented on W.'s overall incompetence, then for his "reading the Bible" ways.
The comedian went on the say something along the lines, jokingly, as "dude, finish the book already."
Then he continued to heckle Bush, at the same time going on into another bit about too much of something is a bad thing.
Mainly referencing the Bible, the comedian compared it to too much of "Green Eggs and Ham."
It was his little play, only with the highly overanalyzed scriptures of the lord.
He playfully continued to read the pretend Dr. Seuss book and then turned around to the audience — with a misinterpreted message — and teasingly said "I hate the Jews," or something like that.
But is too much of the Bible a bad thing?

I know I don't read the Bible enough. I know that.
But do some people read the Bible too much? How can reading the Bible too much be a bad thing?
The Bible is full of life lessons. Lessons everyone needs to live by, but when one person continues to read and reread the same thing over and over, will its interpretations change to them?
Some people could stand to read it more.
I get in ruts and only worry about the Bible during church lessons, but after last weekend I know I need to give praise when the chips are up, and down.
So what was the comedian talking about?
Maybe trying to make a little money, and maybe trying to get ahead by hitting people where it hurts -- on their knees, praying.
People overanalyze all the time...look at the sporting world. Football, baseball the list goes on and on.
Everything thing is look at with a 100x microscope and a lot of times it’s taken with a grain of salt in sports.
Does anyone do that with the Bible? Better yet, should anyone do that with the Bible?
