WE PLAGIARIZE IN ADVANCE AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT’S COVERT ON COLBERT

This past Mondays Colbert Report featured Mr. Colbert’s relating through spoofing the South African governments attempt to lump all minorities into the category of black (a classification they’ve recently chosen to assign to their Chinese citizens) to our current political scene. His take was that since John McCain is, and for more than 2 decades has been, a senior citizen he is thus discriminated against and can be called “black” using the South African model. Thus John McCain can be our first black president and further, Mr. Colbert notes, can be “Bush’s black friend”. But what is most fascinating to us is that without calling him John McSame, Stephen Colbert says he’s giving John McCain this label so he won’t seem so the (Mc) same as other Republican candidates. We’re honored.
