Reid and his FOOT and his MOUTH

Harry Reid has done put his foot in his mouth again -- and this time he might really wish he'd been more careful with his words.

The Senate Majority Leader called Chinese President Hu Jintao a "dictator" on Tuesday -- the same day Hu arrived on a diplomatic visit to the U.S. to discuss their at-times rocky relationship.

"I am going to go back to Washington tomorrow and meet with the president of China. He is a dictator," Reid told local TV talk show "Face to Face with Jon Ralston." "He can do a lot of things through the form of government they have."

The inflammatory remarks were made after Ralston asked if Reid thought the lame-duck tax cut deal was a good one. The Nevada senator quickly backtracked from his statement.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said dictator, but they have a different type of government than we have and that's an understatement," Reid said.
