Quoting Harry Reid

[Zam-Zam]

“I don’t think you’re smarter than anybody else, but you’ve convinced a lot of us you are,”

“One problem that I’ve had today is keeping my Wongs straight.”

-Senator Harry Reid, to the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce, August 2014


Later, the Senator apologized and admitted the "jokes" were in "extremely poor taste".

Well, duh.

good thing it wasn't any R that said those racist remarks.............libs would have been looking for their "clips" for their AR-15s..........

There's something not right with Senator Reid's brain. Fortunately for him, there are plenty of enablers who are quite content to pretend this never happened.

I believe that man is senile, he needs to retire! He's almost as stupid as Biden....

 

[Jets]

Too many of our elected officials suffer from "foot in mouth" disease. What he said was stupid and inappropriate. That said, he apologized and should be given the credit as well as the inital criticism.

I give him full credit for his apology. I do wonder, however, if the need for an apology occurred to him, or if he had to be prompted.

 

[as seen on tv]

and they say alcoholism is a victimless crime.

The left have been ignoring Reid's casual racism for decades. I don't expect them to start noticing it now...

Yes, this isn't Senator Reid's apology after-the-fact:

WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid apologized on Saturday for saying the race of Barack Obama – whom he described as a "light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" – would help rather than hurt his eventual presidential bid.

Darn those Negro dialects, whatever that is.

Wow, the article says Reid had to grovel in front of Al Sharpton after that one. Can you imagine the humiliation of that?

You'd think that anyone who'd been a prominent politician for as long as him would have made these kinds of bad-taste racial jokes at some point in the past, if he was prone to them, and would have learned his lesson. Is he ineducable?

It may have really galled the Senator to have to do that. After all, Reverend Sharpton isn't particularly light-skinned......:>)

I'm not sure what his problem is, perhaps he thought he would get a pass from the press. He seems to be intent on cementing his reputation as the Donald Sterling of the Senate.

Perhaps he'll catch on someday. Perhaps not.

But after Biden's statements about Barry being "clean and articulate", Sharpton did admit that he showers.

Joe is clean and articulate too. Well, clean anyway.
