Is the power of Communist-copying Political Correctness ebbing? Yes. PC -- which embodies everything McCarthyism was accused of being -- does not have quite its former power to destroy. Take, for example, the hilarious Harry Reid episode. Here is a revealing exchange between Liz Cheney and George Will on television this morning, as reported in Huffpo:

Cheney claimed it was "inexcusable" for liberals to defend Harry Reid for saying privately that Barack Obama could win the election because he's a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one...."

WILL: I don't think there's a scintilla of racism in what Harry Reid said. At long last, Harry Reid has said something that no one can disagree with, and he gets in trouble for it.

CHENEY: George, give me a break. I mean, talking about the color of the president's skin...

WILL: Did he get it wrong?

CHENEY: ... and the candidate's...

WILL: Did he say anything false?

CHENEY: ... it's -- these are clearly racist comments, George.

WILL: Oh, my, no.
