But it's not "just antiquated." And Reid is the leader of the premier legislative body on the globe. No, we don't need to "just condemn" him -- but doing absolutely nothing and pretending everyone feels rosy about it is also bullshit. Everyone doesn't feel rosy about it. I'll go back to Michael Steele's point: what if it was John Cornyn or Newt Gingrich who said it? They'd be getting run out of town on a rail right now. But because Reid is a Democrat that makes him immune. It's total hypocritical bullshit.
I'm not saying he should resign over it. There are other measures that could be taken, easily. Like censure. They certainly didn't waste any time passing censure on Wilson for shouting, "you lie." That was just an opinion, not a racist slur against the president. Oh right, but Wilson's a republican....
