Embattled Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has no greater defender than Stephen Colbert. And this faux-pundit is fed up with the media “hounding” Cain.
“We all know these (sexual harassment) accusations are only about one thing,” Colbert said, referring to right-wing commentators claiming the media’s scrutiny of Cain is unfair criticism of a black conservative.
Just ask Rush Limbaugh, discerning chauvinist. “The mainstream media have launched an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant, conservative black,” Limbaugh said recently.
“Yes, it is a stereotype,” Colbert said. “Not all black presidential candidates sexually harass. Just like not all old, fat men are jolly. Folks, when it comes to racial stereotypes, Rush knows what he’s talking about.”
Does he ever.
