KD in CA Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 The good folks at Comedy Central did not disappoint in their handling of the Rachel Dolezal scandal. Jon Stewart strives mightily to turn it into an attack on Fox News, but unconvincingly. The "OMG! Fox News!!!" obsession is when Jon Stewart jumped the shark for me. The far better takedown came from Larry Whitmore, formerly The DailyShow‘s “senior black correspondent” before he got his own show. His segment was called “Crazypants White Lady Pretends to Be Black,” and it pretty much explodes all the poses of MSNBC, The New Yorker, and other liberals straining to explain why Dolezal’s deception is no big deal. I especially liked “She’s not just white . . . she’s Laura Linney white! . . . The most amazing case of white-flight I’ve ever seen.” Never seen his show but I might have to try it -- that clip was hysterical.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Does that mean you'll be posting for a longer period of time? No posting shorter... Thank God. Sitting in front of a keyboard make many fat. Gotta get out and move ;-)

Never seen his show but I might have to try it -- that clip was hysterical. Larry Wilmore is worth checking out. I've been a huge fan of his for awhile. He ran the Bernie Mac show (I believe co-created it?), he did tours on the American Office, Blackish and a number of other really funny shows and his regular stint on the Daily Show -- mainly behind the scenes. Dude is hilarious.

4merper4mer Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I sure hope Poojer doesn't live in a swing state.
TakeYouToTasker Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 It's like Jane Krakowski meets Gold Dust (1980's WWF$
Deranged Rhino Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Chris Rock tweeted it out today, too good not to share.

Chef Jim Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Ain't Jemima. EDIT: I had to had the picture. Love the "Some Artificial Coloring or Preservatives" line. Edited June 19, 2015 by Chef Jim
