No, Harry Reid's gaffe was nowhere near that of Trent Lott. Reid screwed up, yes, but Lott really is a racist.
There's two problems here I have with the Reid situation.
One, he's been a lousy Senate Majority Leader. He's been ineffective for three years now. I would actually like to see him replaced.
Two, if you have to carefully explain why you're not a racist, you've lost the public opinion battle anyway. Stop trying.
