11/06/00: US Senator Arlen Specter (R - Pennsylvania) was on the Daily Show.

He said that when the Constitution was written there "was segregation in this country."

Host Jon Stewart pointed out that slavery is not the same thing as segregation.

To paraphrase what Stewart said: Segregation is when you say, you can't use that fountain. Slavery is when you say, get me a glass of water from that fountain.

Specter--what a maroon.
