Two Wong’s don’t make a Wright.
You sure this wasn’t a Saturday Night Live video?
>> “poor taste”
over Wong?
Trent Lott had to resign his leadership for an off-the-cuff remark about Strom Thurmond (on his 100th birthday).
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The guy is senile.

Reid’s more of a Wang.
Here’s a sampling of some of Reid’s greatest gaffes:
1) “Negro dialect”
Reid’s description of President Obama, in the book “Game Change,” included the remark that Obama was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect — unless he wanted to have one” (a suggestion that Obama’s race helped him in 2008) and forced an apology from Reid in 2010.
2) Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years
Reid alleged in the 2012 presidential campaign that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes in 10 years — a claim that Reid attributed to an unnamed person and turned out to be totally unfounded. At the same time, it had the desired effect, forcing a conversation about Romney’s taxes. So it’s kind of hard to call this a “gaffe.” Still, what about Reid’s credibility?
3) The hottest senator
Reid at a 2010 fundraiser referred to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) as the “hottest member” of the Senate, with her sitting just a few feet away, according to Politico’s Maggie Haberman.
4) Those smelly tourists

5) Ted Kennedy’s death helping Obamacare
Reid said in 2009 that Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-Mass.) death would help Democrats pass his life-long political cause: health-care reform. “I think it’s going to help us,” Reid said.
6) No Hispanic Republicans?
That’s what Reid alleged in 2010: “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK.” This is only a partial list, of course. Some off these things — especially the Romney comments — can be chalked up to political gamesmanship. And Reid is nothing if not a political animal. But he’s also the leader of the United States Senate. And his career of middling gaffes is a tribute to just how anonymous the leader of upper chamber can remain — along with how over-used the term “gaffe” is these days.
If he was talking about the Chinese, then many people in Asia would agree with him. People fled from them for eons.
Wong brothers laundry accepts the apology. Two Wongs make it white.
Wong Brothers Laundry—Two Wongs will make it white!
I remember a scandal in Australia bout 45 years ago when they would not allow Chinese to immigrate there.
The article said the common belief was ...”Two WONGS don’t make a White.”
Hey, just repeating what the news magazine said.
On behalf of my grandchildren STFU Harry. Apology not accepted you degenerate bigot.
Reid apoligized for the gaffe by saying that it was because he had flied lice for diner.
