RUSH EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “'Chinaperson?' Mr. Blankenship, you’re starting to sound like a real ass person. Well, a lot of folks took exception to the term “China person,” but Donny defended himself.
BLANKENSHIP [clip]: "This idea that calling somebody a Chinaperson— I mean, I’m an American-person. I don’t see this insinuation by the press that there’s something racist about saying Chinaperson. Some people are Korean-persons some of them are African-persons."
COLBERT: "No! No! No one talks like that except aliens trying to blend in. “What?! No, I am not an alien. Like you, I am an american-person— now bring me sugar in water.”
