Feminist NY Rep. Carolyn Maloney apologizes over use of N-word

Story here. Excerpt:
'Rep. Carolyn Maloney's [link added] planned Senate bid isn't even officially off the ground and already she's scrambling to say sorry for using the N-word in an interview.
"I apologize for having repeated a word I find disgusting," Maloney said in a statement Monday.
Maloney used the racial slur while relaying a story she'd heard.
The potentially damaging gaffe comes a week before Maloney's scheduled launch of her Democratic challenge to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand at the polls next fall.
Baruch College's political pro Doug Muzzio said Maloney's use of the N-word is, to be blunt, "stupid."'

Why hasn't NOW condemned Maloney's racist comment? :-)
Not racist.
Hell i expected her to have called the Prez a n$%^&&^, not something as mild as saying someone else used the word! This is stupid PC gone wild. Sharpton is a far more racist man than this woman could ever be, what with his past statements about whites.
