On The Daily Show last night, Larry Wilmore was dismayed to discover that when he tried to use “the race card” on the Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters ethics scandals, it was “maxed out.” That’s when he read the small print: “‘Void during a black presidency.’ F*ck.”

When Jon Stewart was surprised to learn that there was an actual race card, Wilmore replied: “There’s all kinds of cards you use to avoid accountability.” There’s “the gay card, the Christian card, the disabled card, the ADHD card, the ‘I had bad parents’ card, the fat card, the ‘I’m the only (fill-in-the-blank) who works here’ card, the poor card.”

Jon admitted he didn’t know about the poor card, and Wilmore replied: “Yeah, fat-cat make richo didn’t know that. See! I just played it on you, Jon.”
