The Daily Show‘s ‘Senior Black Correspondent’ Larry Wilmore Plays the Race Card

There are currently outstanding ethics charges on two African-American members of the House or Representatives (Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters.) Last night The Daily Show addressed this coincidence by bringing on “Senior Black Correspondent” Larry Wilmore, who proceeded allege that the two were only guitly of LWB – “Legislating While Black.” When Stewart shot down that defense, Willard literally played the “race card” (which apparently doesn’t work during the term of a serving Black President.) Do not deny yourself and watch the whip-smart and hilarious segment from last night. And if you’re not careful, you might just learn something.

The following bit goes over so well, that as it ends one can witness rare enthusiasm from host Jon Stewart as he and Wilmore high-five and embrace. More Wilmore please.
