Calling it a "rich comedic buffet," interim Daily Show host John Oliver is hot on the tail of grease queen/pharmashill/buttermonger Paula Deen's racist remarks caught on tape. After showing some news clips discussing whether she used the N-word, Oliver says, "The N-word? Which one did she use? Because I know it wasn't non-fat. Boom!" Says Oliver: "That doesn't necessarily mean that Paula Deen is a racist. Maybe the word just slipped out when she was rapping along to the Wu-Tang Clan in some sort of innocent karaoke mishap."
Oliver then brings on fellow correspondent Jessica Williams to help diagnose Deen's condition. Says Williams: "This woman has a serious condition... Paula clearly suffers from either type 1 or type 2 racism." Type 2 is "adult onset racism," but there's evidence that her family "has the racism gene." Says Williams: "Oh, please. Paula Deen's words aren't hurting black people anywhere near as much as her recipes are."
Update 06/21: Paula Deen responded to the racist testimony in a video statement saying, "Please forgive me."
