Back To The Fifties With Harry "Jim Crow" Reid

Remember this post where I asked Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

Well apparently he would!

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.

And Joe Biden says "Don't forget clean, Harry! He's clean too!" Reid & Robert Byrd then broke into a rousing duet of "Old Man River" and closed with "Mammy".

Good grief, I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Do they even listen to themselves when they talk? I'm seeing precious little evidence that they do. Any of my gay sistas going to be checking the box next to "Honky Fag"?
