Harry Hangs... with his Homies! Honest!

Senator Reid apparently wanted to know what it was like to walk in Joe Biden's shoes... and has already mastered the art of Foot-in-Mouth disease:

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."

"Say What?"

Nice work, Harry. He was never one for speaking carefully but wow! Even your friend Joe isn't taking your calls now. You committed the Cardinal Sin in the Democratic Party: tell Black Americans what you really think about them. Kind of like that "Obama the Magic Negro" line incorrectly attributed to Rush Limbaugh but actually tracked back to the liberal-lovin' L.A. Times.

If payback were real and politics were honest come next election Harry would be manning some scandalous point of purchase displays on the seedier side of the Vegas strip.

Anyone else readying their DVR for Dennis Miller's soundbites on O'Reilly about one of his favorite political punching bags? Hard to blame him for picking on Harry endlessly when Harry continues to make it so easy.
