Time mag to Nikki Haley: So, do you give Sikh taxi drivers bigger tips or what?

Via GOP12, if you want to watch only the 13-second question and answer about cab drivers you can head over to Weasel Zippers, but I recommend skipping to about 4:45 here and letting it play from there instead. You can’t fully appreciate how out of left field this comment is without viewing it within the context of a standard boring political interview. Haley actually handles it amazingly well; I would have been dumbfounded. Note to Marion Barry: Good news — you’re guilty of only the second-worst stereotyping in American politics this Thursday.

You know who I bet would find this high-larious? Ahem.
