Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid drew laughter from an Asian audience Thursday with a pair of Asian-themed jokes.
“I don’t think you’re smarter than anybody else, but you’ve convinced a lot of us you are,” Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told the guffawing crowd at the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce. Video of the remarks was recorded by the Republican opposition research group American Rising.
Later, before walking off stage, Reid quipped: “One problem that I’ve had today is keeping my Wongs straight.”
The group decided against backing the Reid-endorsed Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Lucy Flores, supporting Republican Mark Hutchison instead, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Not only is he the worst Majority Leader ever.
He's not funny and soon to be completely irrelevant.
I hope you were not too offended.
Please consider the source. I apologize on his behalf to your Family.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel silenced a roomful of attendees at a speech on Wednesday when he joked that an Indian member of his audience might be a member of the Taliban.
The embarrassing incident occurred during a question and answer session following Hagel’s policy speech at the University of Nebraska in Omaha.
‘You’re not a member of the Taliban, are you?’ Hagel asked as he waited for the next question from the audience.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid apologized on Saturday for saying the race of Barack Obama – whom he described as a "light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" – would help rather than hurt his eventual presidential bid.
“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” Clinton is quoted as saying in “Game Change,” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.
Says Reid !!

Just curious. If the audience was offended why were they laughing ? When people feel offended they usually
respond with hostility. So what is your understanding for the laughter ? Are they just being polite ?
Thanks

They laughed and then backed Reid's candidate's opponent. 'Nuff said.
