senator John McCainn Friday uses "tar baby,"

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa
Republican presidential contender John McCainn Friday used the term "tar
baby," considered by some
a racial epithet, and later said he regretted it.

Answering questions at a town hall meeting,
the Arizona senator was discussing federal involvement
in custody cases when he said,
"For me to stand here and ... say I'm going to declare divorces invalid
because of someone who feels they weren't treated fairly in court, we are
getting into a tar baby of enormous proportions and I don't know how you get
out of that."

After the event, McCain told reporters:
"I don't think I should have used that word and I
was wrong to do so."

The senator said he hoped it wouldn't be viewed
as a racial remark. He argued that he was trying
to say that it wouldn't make sense for him to
have a role in something left to the courts.

Last summer, a top McCain rival, Mitt Romney of
Massachusetts, apologized for referring to the
troubled Big Dig construction project in
Boston as a "tar baby" during a fundraiser
in Ames, Iowa.

"Tar Baby" makes everyone think of stupid Negroes. Bad choice of words
for McCain.
