Senator Harry Reid apologized yesterday for making "racist" jokes at a meeting of the Asian Chamber of Commerce in Las Vegas. The Hill: "My comments were in extremely poor taste and I apologize. Sometimes I say the wrong thing,” Reid said in a statement to The Hill. The Democratic leader issued the apology after a video surfaced online of him joking with the crowd in Las Vegas about their ethnicity.

Hairy's apology: "So solly. Sometimes I say wong ting hop sing." There. That's more hairy-like. Clean articulate with nary a hint of negro dialect. Is the comedy channel hiring? Cause this guy is a walking talking joke 24/7.

Wong again,Harry. They really are smarter than you!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

That was a Ro Bro Harry.

[Fair Paul]

He can’t tell a joke, he is utterly without a sense of humor.

Getting senile.

I’m certain the same fate that befell Donald Sterling will mark the end of Harry Reid’s career. /s

If it was a Republican that said it they would have been hounded out of office - by Republicans.

The goofball would have demanded a conservative step down if they had made such offensive remarks.

[Peter W. Kessler]

I’m waiting for Harry Reid to apologize for being Harry Reid.

[thorvaldr]

So he “apologizes” and it’s OK but it would be game over for a Republican, or any of us peasants.

Weird how most republicrats will slink away and resign but the demokkkrats feel affronted when stuff like this happens and end up being the vicitim. It’s like your impugning their respectability. As if they have any.

[skeeter]

What - no national news??

[ronnie raygun]

Rats get a free pass

[Daveinyork]

Sometimes?

[rktman]

Okay. I’ll give you that one. Nearly ALL the time he says Sum Ting Wong. But for dimokkkrats, no harm, no foul.

If this had been a GOP Senator they would have been hounded out of office for racism.

He also called Sen Gillibrand the “hottest Senator” and then proceeded to lecture the military about it's supposed sexual harassment problems.

I’m sure the drive-bys will dogpile on and hound him from office, just as they would if he were a Republican — which, btw, he’ll be transformed into years from now, each time this incident is brought up. Thanks rktman.
