Earlier this month, Wilmore offered a satirical commentary suggesting that U.S. Sen. John McCain is more of a black candidate than U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.
“I just want the black guy to win, I don’t care which one it is,” Wilmore said.
“Obama is the black guy,” Stewart noted.
“I’m not so sure,” Wilmore countered. “For one thing Obama is winning, that’s not very black. McCain’s been showing me some flava lately. He’s angry at the man, thinks the media’s out to get him. Which of the candidates has been doing this job for 26 years, waiting to get a promotion and then some inexperienced Harvard egghead comes in and snaps it up? Oh yeah, I think McCain is feeling pretty black right about now.”
He also noted that McCain has been in prison (“That’s street cred”) and suspended his campaign at the start of the financial crisis (“Not showing up at work for two days? That is straight-up ghetto!”).
