Nevada's Own Harry Reid

The following from Ankle Biting Pundits:

I'm reading this article about the Senate's debate over an amendment to make English the official language of this country, and I'm just in awe of the utter stupidity of this man who has a shot at being Senate majority leader come 2007:
Quote:
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada went further. "I really believe this amendment is racist. I think it's directed basically to people who speak Spanish."Of course this sent Senate Republicans into a panic attack and eventually they settled for a watered-down symbolic declaration that English is a 'common and unifying language'. But for Harry Reid, a US senator, to call an amendent that makes English the offical language of a nation where the majority of her 330 million citizens of all races speak nothing but English a "racist" policy is mind-numbingly stupid. What, Mr. Reid, do only whites speak English in this country? What about Blacks and Hispanics that speak only English: are they racist as well? Geez-o this dimwit gives me migranes!
