Comedian Lewis Black holds forth on the R-word controversy

Comedian Lewis Black (pictured) weighed in on the Rahm Emanuel R-Word controversy on Comedy Central's The Daily Show Feb. 8. He also blasted Rush Limbaugh's overuse of the R-word and the waffling of Sarah Palin who called for the firing of Emanuel but refused to criticize conservative Limbaugh.

Black's diatribe is actual satire, unlike what Sarah Palin claimed Limbaugh's R-word use in his talk radio show was. But even with that said, it's uncomfortable to hear the word over and over and over in the name of comedy. Let me know what you think.

And here's a roundup of bloggers talking about the most recent R-word controversy.
