Prejudice: A Traditional Value?

Slur lands candidate in hotseat

Note to Republican state Sen. Kim Hendren of Arkansas: Sen. Chuck Schumer has a name. How about you use it next time?
 
The state senator - who plans to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln in 2010 - said he regrets referring to Schumer as "that Jew" during a GOP meeting earlier this month.  As reported May 14 in the Arkansas News:

"I don't speak with a TelePrompTer, and if I had, that reference would have never made it in there," Hendren said. "I know I referred to him as Jew or Jewish, and I should not have done that. I got my foot in my mouth."
