Not too bright

Harry Reid, about as sharp as a bowling ball, has a history of shooting his mouth off. He called George W Bush a "loser" (One can argue both ways there but out of respect for the office, you do not say that about a sitting President.) and once remarked that in summer you can tell who the losers were "by the smell of desperation." Now he can add himself to that list.

In a book called Gamechange, about the behind the scenes action in the 2008 election, Reid is quoted as saying he believed Barack Obama would win since he was a "light skinned" African-American with "no Negro dialect unless he wanted to."

Someone hand Harry a map and a calander. This is not the Old South in 1956.

And he calls himself a Democrat?

On the other hand, the Old South was dominated by Democrats who uttered Reid-like phrases and much worse so it appears he is the right party.

Trent Lott was correctly forced to resign his leadership position when praising segratgation at Strom Thurmond's birthday party a few years ago. The same treatment should be awarded Reid, who by all accounts, is going to lose in his reelection bid in Nevada.

I find it most galling that the NAACP is trying to rally around this cretin. Of all organizations, how could they just let that go with barely a comment? And then try to defent him? There should be a "J" somewhere in those five letters--for "Judas". They are betraying everything they stood for in not calling for Reid to resign, not his seat, but his leadership role.

Then again, remember it was the Maryland chapter of the NAACP who threw Oreo cookies at Michael Steele at a governor debate for daring to run as a Repubican.

A lot of the Repubican "ire" is political oppourtunism. There is no doubt. But while they are shouting for Reid's scalp, they should focus on other things, like our porous border and an out of control commodities market that threaten any faint echo of an economic recovery.

They, after all, caused a lot of this.

As for Harry Reid, tell him not to include the white sheet in the drycleaning for a while. No need to worry about the pillowcases. Everyone knows they have holes in them.
