We’re waiting for Cokie’s apology. And interestingly enough, I heard Biden say “Bosniak,” and I remember thinking “that’s weird.” But I’m smart enough to know that something like that is so odd coming from the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, that I’d better look it up and make sure that he’s not right, BEFORE I comment on it publicly. Why didn’t Cokie? More from Media Matters:

During coverage of the October 2 vice-presidential debate on PBS’ Charlie Rose, Rose asked, “Did either of them make any mistakes that you noticed?” National Public Radio senior news analyst Cokie Roberts responded that Sen. Joe Biden “talked about the Bosniaks.” Roberts later said: “[I]f [Gov. Sarah Palin] had said ‘Bosniak,’ everybody would be making a big deal of it, you know.” In fact, Biden correctly referred to certain residents of Bosnia and Herzegovina as Bosniaks. According to the U.S. State Department, as of 2002, the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina consisted of the following ethnic groups: “Bosniak 48.3%, Serb 34.0%, Croat 15.4%, others 2.3%.”
