Reading Reid

Michelle Obama says there's no need for Harry Reid to apologize to her because he's a good guy. "I measure people more so on what they do rather than the things they say." (A more succinct explanation of the double standard for Dems and Repubs I can't imagine.) I'd say there's no need for him to apologize to her or her husband because they weren't the main ones he insulted.

Let's recall what he said. Reid noted that since Obama is "light-skinned" and has no "Negro dialect, unless he wants to," he's a viable candidate.

This is a put-down of voters, implying they're racists who won't vote for dark-skinned candidates or those who sound too black. They're the ones he should apologize to.
