Funny how everyone is "so sorry" as soon as they get caught. Things continue to look up for the GOP in the mid-term elections this fall...
Tisk tisk Mr. Reid. I mean, who uses the word "negro" anymore anyway??

The truth is many of these politicians, from both sides, are from super rich white, out of touch with reality, families. They have very little in common with the average minority and probably have limited interactions with them too.
Hence these types of comments.

No one uses negro, except blacks on occasion. But even that is rare.
A white person saying negro is almost as bad as Michael Richards calling blacks Afro-Americans.

Actually, it's on the 2010 US Census. People are asked to pick Black, African American, or Negro.

No kidding?!
What is w/ Senate leaders...they always turn out to be dbags. Was Frist just before Reid or further back? I remember seeing a documentary how his "family business" which I believe is Health South had taken the government and general public for billions in bogus claims etc. He was the same POS moron who stood on the Senate floor and swore his diagnosis of Terri Schiavo (sp?) proved she had full mental capacity... and then like two weeks later the autopsy showed she was brain-dead. Sooooo yeah not only a crook but a really shitty doc as well.

No biggie. Reid apologized, Obama's not tripping off it.
Oh, don't count your chickens just yet for the mid-terms. Lots of politics left before we go to the polls.

Maybe he will say " sorry for how horribly we have failed the American people the past 3 years " .... but I doubt that . Not many in Nevada like him anymore .

Sorry is a word used to remorse accidental situations and circumstances. In this particular instance the word is not appropriately being applied.

WHOA!!! I am just shocked that a liberal would say such things, esp Harry Reid! I thought Reid and his fellow liberals were above such comments unlike conservatives!
Harry Reid looks down on everyone! Remember those comments he made about tourists stinking up the Capitol building during the summer? The guy is an elitist who is completely out of touch with reality. Time to get rid of this bum!
