The upcoming political tell-all Game Change has set the political landscape ablaze with all sorts of juicy revelations, from the “first black president’s” true feelings towards President Barack Obama to an inside look at the marriage of John & Elizabeth Edwards, but the one that’s garnered the most attention has been Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s observation that Obama had a shot at the presidency because he was “light-skinned” and has “no Negro dialect—unless he wanted to have one.”
Much has been made of Dingy Harry’s racial condescension, Democrat double-standards, and the general sleaziness of political correctness, but when Game Change’s authors, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, sat down with Sean Hannity to discuss their book this week, they offered the context of Reid’s observations, which happens to reveal what might be the scandal’s most important lesson.
