by Dwight Rousu - Jan. 12, 2010

Very mediocre reporting, it would be called bad reporting if we were not so used to tabloid trash wrapped up as news. BS thrown against the wall to see what sticks is given status as valid political news.

No apology was needed, and none should have been offered. Reid (not my favorite) was only stating what he thought the US electorate bigotry pool would think. It was a valid observation. Politicians should be allowed to speak straight. Reid was not advocating nor lamenting racism, as Lott was doing. The Lott comparison is a lot of BS.
