"As
for Hillary Clinton, she won huge yesterday in the Florida primary,
taking 54% of the vote. Florida is a big deal, unlike South Carolina which is
not a big deal. I forget why again. Jimmy? [on screen: Bill
Clinton saying, 'Jesse
Jackson won South Carolina twice in '84 and '88']. That's right. None of this
has to do with racial politics. South Carolina is not unimportant because it
had too many black voters, but because it had too few old voters.
Florida is
chuck-a-block full of the oldies. And we all know the elderly are the best
judge of who should be the next president. And here's why -- they are naturally
objective because whoever they vote for, most of them will not live to see that
person inaugurated and have those policies affect their lives. This makes them
naturally impartial. The only better judges are dead people, who are really
independents. I mean, look at Joe Lieberman [on screen: Lieberman]. You cannot
tell me that that face is still alive." --Stephen Colbert
