"There is that Eddie Murphy skit where Eddie Murphy is on a bus and he's the only Black person on the bus, and no one is speaking, like people in an elevator. Just sort of stand there and watch. Silently. But Eddie Murphy gets off the bus, leaving only whites, and they immediately pull off their out garments, they have part outfits beneath, they start drinking champagne, the band strikes up. So to some extent .this could be happening when I leave the Court"

That was Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas -- July 25, 1997.

Even though that was over a quarter century ago, controversies surrounding Clarence Thomas are very much in the news today as well.

So the latest episode of the C-SPAN podcast "The Weekly" is about Clarence Thomas, right?

Actually, no. It's a podcast about the person Clarence Thomas cited: Eddie Murphy...

Because… it's always a good time to talk about Eddie Murphy – and politics.

So why not do it now?

And thus -- the latest episode of "The Weekly": What we can learn about politicians -- from Eddie Murphy ...a Nutty Professor of Politics.
