Except for, apparently, Lou Dobbs. As the CNN anchor got increasingly fired up about how, contrary to what Rice and Barack Obama have been saying lately, America is actually really enlightened, he accidentally let loose with a rather controversial expression.

"Not a single one of these cotton-pickmwhwhyah —he fumbled, tried to cover it up—these just ridiculous politicians should be the moderator on the issue of race." Right, Lou. Because you're doing a fine job. Clip above!
