Hey, Harry Reid... The KKK called, and they want their white sheet back.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has now apologized for a Racist remark he made about President Barack Obama.  Politics Daily reports that the Leader of the Senate said, "[Obama is a] light-skinned African American with no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one."

The Racist remark has surfaced in a new book, Game Change by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the 2008 Presidential Election.  Reid apologized today, saying it was "a poor choice of words."  I'll say.

Why this story was held until the weekend to break is beyond me.  And why no one is calling for Reid's resignation as Senate Leader is also disappointing.  Didn't we force Trent Lott to resign - not just from his leadership post, but from his entire seat - for a similar remark?  The double standard is astonishing.

I suppose the saying goes, "If a Tree Falls in a Forest...".  The same applies to Racism...so long as a Liberal Democrat says it, no one hears it.

Either way, I suppose the bad karma is enough.  A new Poll this week shows that Reid is now viewed unfavorably by his own constituents, and would lose to ANY of his GOP opponents if the 2010 Election were held today.
