A Republican precinct chairman in North Carolina has resigned one day after an interview he gave to "The Daily Show" aired.

Don Yelton spoke with the Comedy Central show's Aasif Mandvi in a discussion that aired Wednesday, in which he defended his state's voter ID law and referred to "lazy blacks that wants the government to give them everything." He said the law was not racist, but said that he's "been called a bigot before."

I'm about a week behind on my Daily and Colbert fix.  I've always wondered how they get these people to sit down for an interview, where they will have their views challenged and ultimately look ridiculous.  In this case, racist.  I guess the camera and lights are just too alluring for them.

Like a moth to a flame. Anyone got a light?
