Stephen Colbert has an idea to get America out of its current jobs crisis: look out for the little guy.
Enter Florida state Rep. Ritch Workman (R), who is fighting to repeal Florida’s 22-year-old ban on “dwarf tossing.” Workman claims he’s just looking to create jobs in Florida. “All (the ban) does is prevent some dwarfs from getting jobs they would be happy to get in this economy,” he has said.
And Colbert on Monday doffed his cap to the Florida lawmaker. “Dwarfs would be happy to have these jobs,” he said.
“The economy today is bad,” Colbert added. “And if you’re not willing to toss tax dollars at the problem, the only thing left to toss is human dignity.”
