5. I don't think they realized the significance of the word...

This was taped at 2:00 EST or so, and the bit probably written earlier than that... This morning when it was first making the rounds, no one was sure what "macaca" was... I don't think Jon and the writers would say what they knew was a racial slur over and over again, or make light of someone saying it...

Then again, Jon and the Daily show make fun of old women slipping on the ice*... ;)

*as per Geraldo, of course.
