I've said it a lot as have others. But just ask yourself what would have been the reaction if some Republican had made the same "joke'".

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton were forced to defend a joke made by the mayor at a charity dinner that critics considered racially offensive.

The incident occurred Saturday night, when Clinton and De Blasio took part in a skit at the Inner Circle dinner, a black-tie event in which New York City's political press corps and politicians spend the evening making fun of each other.

Clinton took the stage ostensibly to thank De Blasio, a former aide, for his belated endorsement of her for the Democratic nomination.

"Took you long enough," Clinton said.

De Blasio responded, "Sorry, Hillary. I was running on C.P. time." The phrase, popular in pop culture, is a reference to the stereotype that African-Americans are typically late for appointments.

Broadway actor Leslie Odom Jr., who was also on stage with Clinton and De Blasio and appeared to be in on the joke, said, "That's not - I don't like jokes about that, Bill."

"C.P.", for those of you who do not know, and I didn't, refers to "Colored People" time and means one is always late, often very late.

de Blasio is asked about "the joke" and gives a response that would never, ever be accepted if he were a Republcian. The double standard here is totally blatant.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday night that he remained “comfortable” with a racially charged joke he told over the weekend at a dinner featuring Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“Why not just apologize? Why not just say we shouldn’t have done the joke?” MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked.

“It’s a satire,” de Blasio replied. “The entire show was a satire. I was mocking myself. I’m sorry, I just think — look, I take full responsibility. Someone else wrote the script, but I approved it. I just think sometimes there is a place for satire in this world.”

“If you had to do it over again, would you do it?” Hayes pressed.

“I’m pretty comfortable with it,” de Blasio said. “It was meant to be a joke on the way we speak. It was obviously not meant to offend anyone.”

There is a place for satire, Bill, but only if you are a Leftist.
