Don’t ever tell me that there is not an issue between our elected officials and the public they serve. Not only are there countless examples of a Senator or Congressman getting in front of his peers to rail against some kind of bullshit ‘family value’ to only find him stuck in a bathroom stall playing footsies with a Larry the Cable guy looking hillbilly or tagging some Argentinean beauty.
Now Harry Reid – never one to be confused with Lou Reed- is quoted as saying Obama had a good shot at President because of his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect”
Forget the context or even the fact that this senile clown was actually giving Obama a back-handed compliment. Forget also that he has apologized and Obama has accepted the apology but how out of touch can you possibly be? Reid apologized to All Americans on CNN for using such poor choice of words
My question is who the hell still uses the word Negro in conversation? In what part of this country (or Utah) is this even a somewhat acceptable descriptive word? It’s like this dude went Marty McFly on the senate and reminds you of when George H Bush was at the supermarket checkout line during his presidential bid and thought a gallon of milk still cost $0.08.
Honestly when these guys hit the age of 65 they should be forced out, they are already so out of touch but when they hit a certain age they should be put out to pasture.
the real question is who even still watches CNN to see Reid's apology? Also it was George H.W. Bush who was amazed by the price of Milk, not Bob Dole.
