Chris Rock on Bill Clinton Playing the Race Card: ‘Sorry, Blackies!’

Chris Rock famously tore into Bill Clinton last week, and judging from his appearance last night on Larry King Live, he’s not quite done yet. If you’ll recall, the two first tangled on The Late Show with David Letterman, when Clinton’s less-than-enthused support for Barack Obama was attacked by Rock, who memorably shrieked, “Hillary lost!” On Larry King last night, Rock reiterated that he likes Bill Clinton and has met him several times, but when asked whether the former president can ever be absolved for “playing the race card” during the South Carolina primary, Rock offers a defence that’s unconventional to say the least. Though, perhaps not as unlikely as his comparison of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to vanquished Dancing with the Stars contestant Kim Kardashian. Clip above. [Larry King Live]
