Last week on an episode of The Colbert Report he did a "Salute to the American Lady," including this segment that hilariously mocks people (men) who say they "aren't sexist."
If you've seen much of Colbert, you'll probably recognize the theme from his "non-racist" remarks. Here's one of my favorite examples, a segment on Senator George Allen trying to prove he isn't a racist fuckwit.
Colbert's satire in general is really well done, and more insightful than I expect even out of most liberal comedians. I'm afraid it goes over a lot of liberals' heads, though, when he mocks the liberal tendencies to be "blind" to race and gender.
Also, here's another bit from the "Salute to the American Lady" episode with Gloria Steinem. *points to icon* I love how she manages to hold her own against Colbert without breaking out of the comedy routine.
