I got you Robert. I must have misunderstood your post as if you were glossing over the Senator's remarks. I just glossed over the Mel Gibson part of it. I don't really consider PUBLIC PAID officials behavior comparably to a "private" citizen actor.
As for why more news is paid to Gibson than Reid. Did Harry Reid star in "Braveheart"? Millions more people over the entire world know who Mel Gibson is. I would say MOST Americans have no idea who Harry Reid is, the rest of the world even fewer. Reid did get a pass on his remarks by much of the media.
I didn't read the follow up posts, but I don't really care about Gibson's rants (they were kind of fun to listen to though).
Harry Reid is clearly a bigot based on a history of his remarks. He isn't the only one on the hill either.
