» 30 Rock, Dr. King, and The Estate Tax

Last night's episode of 30 Rock (still, I think, the funniest show on TV) featured TV executive Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) trying to convince Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan) to become the celebrity voice of the Republican party. Jordan's resulting commercial, meant to appeal to what he first refers to as "blackmericans," is pretty funny:

My fellow black Americans. Dr. King once had a dream, a dream that we all share: to build a 200-foot wall to keep Mexico out. And he also hated the estate tax.

(Later, Jordan says that "I get it -- the Republican party means less taxes, more guns, and the end of the gun tax.") The whole episode is available for free here -- the commercial comes at around 15:45, but the entire thing is really funny (especially Baldwin's Richard Nixon impression).
