During the monologue of Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, host Maher referred to GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain as a “token black guy” as he asserted that establishment Republicans are “freaking out” because they never expected him to be competitive.

They never expec-, it's like an episode of Star Trek where the black guy beams down to the planet and lives. Maher later went on to bet CNBC's Michelle Caruso-Cabrera a million dollars that Republicans will not nominate Cain, as he made his latest accusation that Republicans are racists: A million to one, I will give you a million dollars. If you think that the Republicans are going to have an election with two black guys against each other, that they don't have a choice to vote for a white man in the general election, that will never happen. Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Friday, October 14, Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO: BILL MAHER: Big news, of course, in the Republican ranks.
