Can you imagine if Rebublican had uttered these words? Do you think the treatment would be the same??
A ranking Democrat in the House of Representative is apologizing for saying an African-American Senate candidate "slavishly" supported the Republican Party.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said he meant no offense when he made the remark about Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, the GOP nominee for the seat being vacated by longtime Democratic Sen. Paul Sarbanes.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Hoyer said, "I should not have used those words."
Hoyer was speaking to a largely black audience at a campaign event for Steele's Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Ben Cardin, when he made the comment.
Steele's spokesman, Doug Heye, called Hoyer's comments "insensitive and pretty stupid."

Republicans like Trent Lott? Of course the difference is he would like to see the return of segregation and Jim Crowe.
Most of us would not.

Probably not the best choice of words.
But what exactly is your question?
Can I imagine a Republican uttering those words?
- Yes.
Do I think the treatment would be the same?
- What treatment are you talking about? That the opposition pointed it out, made a big deal of it, which then resulted in an apology? Sure, sounds about what would happen the other way around.

The hypocrisy is palpable. But, you know as well as I that he'll get away with what they would crucify any Republican for saying. Witness the "muchaca" statement by Allen...
