Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is under fire for having called President Obama a negro. I've been going over Reid's history as best as possible online and the action seems inconsistent to his past behavior. I'm not trying to defend him just because he's a Democrat and I acknowledge that I don't know him personally, but it just struck me as strange.
The timing of this situation caught my attention as well. I'm starting to wonder if the Democrats allowed this to happen to distract the Republicans while the health care bill is being done. The Senate passed the bill today and it went virtually unnoticed. That is the only hypothesis that seems to make sense. Reid didn't have much of a chance getting re-elected anyway so he would make an ideal person to choose to be the distracting scandal. Reid could resign and do the apology circuit. Why wouldn't he agree, especially since he could be appointed for a position in the Obama administration and it could be sold to the press as an "exercise in forgiveness."
