Jon Stewart had only a few words to spare on Monday about the scandal surrounding the former president of Spokane’s chapter of the NAACP, Rachel Dolezal, who was recently revealed to be white despite posing as African-American for years.
“Whaaaaaaat!?” the host of “The Daily Show” said during his new weekly segment, “Whaaaaaaat!?”
He was even more taken back when it was revealed that Dolezal’s true heritage was Czech, Swedish and German.
“Whaaaaaaat!?” Stewart repeated. “Czech, Swedish and German — is really fucking white.”
Stewart turned to Fox News, which laid the blame for Dolezal’s deception on liberals’ feet.
“Well clearly liberal culture has reached its nadir,” he said in a mocking tone, “yet racism is over.”
“All because a German lady got a weave,” he added.

TPM ’ s coverage of this situation reminds me of the folktale about snapping turtles not letting go until it thunders.
As usual, The Daily Show team manages to get to the heart of the matter in one short segment, while the rest of the “news” outlets stumble around saying random garbage.
Stewart provided more clarity and hilarity to this bullshit than a 2000 word article on huffpo or slate or whatever the fuck pathetic hack rag you wish to reference.
She is, in fact, “really fucking white,” and FOX is, in fact, terminally full of shit.
