Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing
In He's a Winner, We're the Losers, I noted the departure of Rob Corddry. A possible new replacement is "Senior Black correspondent" Larry Wilmore, who complained that Republicans like Tony Snow and Va. Sen. George Allen are giving real racists like Strom Thurmond a bad name. Calling the new racism "lame," Wilmore condemned their "Lazy Racism." He said:
America emerged as a great nation because of our profound commitment to racism. In fact, this country was born out of the eradication of one race and the enslavement of another. That was racism.A Truthdig Commenter compared his humor to Richard Pryor. We sure need him now!
Speaking of new correspondents, I also like Assif Mandvi, who has been on TDS a few times recently as a Middle Eastern Affairs correspondent. See, Thanks for the Memories. Here's an article about him in the LA Times, 'Daily Show' debut could be his big opportunity. I hope he becomes a regular.
