In last night's monologue, Colbert noted the whole Rep. Mike Kelly claim he is a person of color because he is White; Kelly also claimed, because he is Irish, he is also Anglo-Saxon, something which I knew the minute I'd heard about Kelly's idiocy earlier he was absolutely wrong; having grown up in a half-Irish neighborhood, in a city with a very large Irish population, I know the Irish are Celts, not Anglo-Saxons; it is indeed sad when bigots don't even know the roots of their own ethnicity while they question the roots of others; but then again, bigots aren't really known for their knowledge and intelligence or for their grasp of simple facts or, for that matter, facts in general...
Colbert's comments about Kelly start at about 3:15 into the clip...
