Reid apologizes for 'Negro dialect' comment


Whenever I do something stupid, I can just look at this person, Dingy Harry (D), and feel better about my self.
Reid's approval rating is going down faster than the U. S. Dollar. Even the far left wacko Democrat SpokesTV, CNN (D) noticed it.
January 9, 2010 Reid apologizes for 'Negro dialect' comment Posted: January 9th, 2010 04:45 PM ET From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
Washington (CNN) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized Saturday following reports he had privately described then-candidate Barack Obama during the presidential campaign as a black candidate who could be successful thanks in part to his “light-skinned” appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reported the remarks in their new book “Game Change,” which was purchased by CNN Saturday at a Washington-area bookstore. The book is slated for official release next Tuesday.
“He (Reid) was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama - a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’ as he said privately. Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination," they write.
“I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words,” Reid said in a statement to CNN.

Did you notice that even though The HSV Pundit and CNN are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, the HSVP actually site its sources. CNN (D) likes to use sources such as "they say" or "how do you respond to rumors". I guess that's just because the HSVP has journalistic integrity. Is that one of the CNN Talking Heads (D) or Dingy Harry giving me the finger. Sorry if the truth hurts.
