UNITED STATES: POLITICS:
Racial Comments Prove Steele and Reid Aren't so Different After All
Racial Comments Prove Steele and Reid Aren't so Different After All

So Michael Steele thinks Harry Reid should watch his mouth. Honest Injun.
Reid, the Senate majority leader, is in trouble yet again over a verbal
gaffe, this time for praising Barack Obama as a "light-skinned" African
American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Now, just in time for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the political world is
off to the race races again: Republicans condemning Reid's insensitivity,
Democrats circling the wagons, and both showing a good bit of hypocrisy.
Reid went before the cameras on Monday to affirm that he'd "apologized to
everyone in the sound of my voice that I could have used a better choice
of words."
But what makes this particular brawl unusual is the man leading the demand
for Reid to quit as Senate Democratic leader: Republican National
Committee Chairman Steele, who just a week ago was in trouble for a
variety of verbal slips, including his "Injun" slur.
The Steele cage match has pitted against each other two of the biggest and
most dangerous mouths in Washington, both prone to unpredictable and
ruinous outbursts. Their fight is a World Series of the word-challenged, a
Grand Slam event on the U.S. Pro Gaffer Tour.
Steele accusing Reid of careless racial talk is the pot calling the kettle
black -- a phrase, for would-be accusers, that comes from Cervantes's "Don
Quixote."
Just a week ago, Steele was on Sean Hannity's Fox News show promoting his
new book when he declared that the GOP platform "is one of the best
political documents that's been written in the last 25 years. Honest Injun
on that."
