As Harry Reid continues his tour of self-destruction, he really shot himself in the foot today.
The Majority Leader of the United States Senate is in a celebratory mood because Ted Kennedy died.
Really.
In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, he’s asked out Ted Kennedy’s death will affect the healthcare debate. His response:
I think it’s going to help us. He hasn’t been around for some time. We’re going to have a new chairman of that committee, it’ll be, I don’t know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd, (D-Conn.). He has a right to take it. Either him or (U.S. Sen. Tom) Harkin, (D-Iowa), whichever one wants it can have it. I think he (Kennedy) will be a help. He’s an inspiration for us. That was the issue of his life and he didn’t get it done.

Yeah, a failure because he didn't live long enough

Joe Biden is like a Decrepit Park owner with a Meth lab that happens to not only be a dealer but a user.
Let’s Bankrupt the Democratic paty. Make spend all the money to defend thier candidates.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that

It seems to me that most politicians...
rechief (Diary) Wednesday, September 2nd at 12:36AM EST (link)… at least -try- to pretend that they’re not callous and indifferent. I guess I can add Reid to the list of politicians who don’t.
Also, nice sig.

A right? I thought it was a privilege. That little quip shows a pretty elitist mindset.

Ted end
izoneguy (Diary) Tuesday, September 1st at 10:53PM EST (link)The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Good grief, hearing Ted Kennedy try to sign in Spanish

Reid's statement a perfect example of why GC calls the Dem Party
Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) Tuesday, September 1st at 10:58PM EST (link)Morally and intellectually bankrupt coupled with the overeach and false reading of the electorate that makes them think they can say this type of vile thing in public. You see, there religion in politics.

Yeah, I know that in practice that’s pretty much the way it has been working for years now, but that’s the problem. Everybody in politics who is that unfamiliar with the US Constitution needs to be removed from office ASAP. A major contributor to both issues is his supreme arrogance.
