92. I thot it was a high-concept dig on FOX news.
The show being parodied was obviously O'Reilly.

Oh, wait, you mean the ad exec one.

No, I think that was a reference to real-life events in which white people dressed up as Indians were used as mascots and campaign spokesmen, etc.

and the promoters said "I'm sorry, I had no idea you guys were still around" when real-life Native Americans complained. There are still people who think their ancestors successfully killed off all the Indians so they don't need to feel bad about it.

"After all, they are a defeated people", as the homecoming queen of a small North Dakota high school recently said, when asked why the Lakota students were not invited to the homecoming celebration.
