If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A:
Only 36,000 jobs lost, which is UP from last month. What a super awesome day! Who wants evil private sector jobs anyway, right Harry? The rhetoric of the Democrat’s has moved from incomprehensible to absolutely unbelievable. Talk about shock and awe; can he really be this much of a dunce? Such woefully clueless rhetoric shows that not only have they never owned a business or ran a business, but few have even worked for a living. They are like a bunch of little boys playing “business Daddy” dress-up.
People need to WORK, not to chatter endlessly about good intentions and meaning well and feel good-y nonsense. Hey, instead of kedoodling around and spouting incompetent nonsense, why don’t you, I don’t know, govern? Perhaps stop wasting time on ridiculous schemes that no one wants and that will debilitate our country and its economy further? Stop bailing out crappy businesses. Stop regulating the good ones out of business. Stop taxing them out of employing people. As I said, I know it’s hard since many of you haven’t worked a day in the private sector in your lives, but it’s time to not just put on big boy pants, but to also act like big boys. People, real people, are hurting.
But you don’t really care, do you, Harry? Job schmobs, we’ve got a health care bill – that no one wants – to try to ram through. Ideology outweighs the needs of the people and the good of the country, for you, once again. I’ll check back with you on that whole “it’s a good day” when people lose their jobs thing come November of 2010, when y’all will be given the big old boot. I’ll make sure to have this video clip handy to play for you.

Yeah, he is an idiot...
smitch61 Friday, March 5th at 11:41AM EST (link)At 50, I have been laid off for one year now.. remain positive, and the good news is I am beginning to receive calls for interviews. He is completely out of touch with the folks. If government would just stand back and perhaps cut the damn taxes, perhaps things would begin to look brighter.
I am truly sorry to hear this. You will be in my prayers.

This clip should be run as an ad in Nevada
Tbone (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 11:52AM EST (link)for the next 6 months.
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
I am sure it is already being spooled up.
jeffreywturner (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 11:57AM EST (link)The thing about Reid though, is that there are just so many gems to choose from when you want to make an ad to show what an idiot he is.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal.

Reid Is Done
crosley (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 12:00PM EST (link)If this gaffe doesn’t do it, nothing will. It’s really more of an issue of which Republican will replace him.
I’m amazed someone as incompetent as Reid was able to get to such a powerful position in politics.
My biggest fear is that he’ll see the writing on the wall like Dodd did, and drop out. I REALLY want to see him get his teeth kicked in by the voters.
Then again...
voxoreason Monday, March 8th at 12:43PM EST (link)…Reid’s got a war chest of something like $13 million. And he may be an idiot, but he knows enough to suck up to the gaming industry in his home state.
We’ve got the best politicians can buy. That’s the problem with DC pols. They’re expensive, and I wouldn’t give you a dime for 200 of ‘em.
They should build a statue to honor George Orwell. He was a socialist, too, but realized that it didn’t work in the real world, so he wrote “Animal Farm” and “1984.”
Ayn Rand was born/educated in Russia. Born 1905, moving to the US in 1926, that would put her there during the revolution.
Here is a good compare/contrast...
Rob_McEwen Friday, March 5th at 12:03PM EST (link)Under Bush, I remember when job GAINS would go from +300K one month to +200K the next (they ALWAYS zig-zag–even in the best of times, there is never a smooth upward curve), and Bush would then get crucified (mercilessly–and with disdain!) on the news about the 100K drop in jobs GAINED (again–BOTH months would STILL have HUGE job GAINS!)
They have some economist on blaming the 100K “loss” on Bush economic policies. (nevermind the fact that the 100K “loss” was STILL a +200K gain). They’d speak in hushed and ominous tones about the seriousness of the problem and what it meant for the future.
(and then there’d be silence when the jobs went back to +250K the next month)
Oh, if we could but have those kind of “problems” now!!!
But in Obamaland, a net decrease in jobs is supposedly a good thing if the loss wasn’t that large.
QUESTION: Why does the news media treat a “jobs lost” report under Obama as somehow better than a “jobs gained” report under Bush?
This is a point which really need to be driven home average Americans. It is time to “call” the Dems on this in public (as you are doing with this excellent post–we ought keep explaining this and not let it get ignored!)
Dear word....
Brian Johnson (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 12:10PM EST (link)If we had a Senate leader grounded in reality, the word “only” would’ve been in air quotes , followed by some sort of real proposal to stop the stupid and do something about it.
However, as the far left statists show time and time again, they aren’t grounded in reality, they’re grounded in the destruction of our country. So, sadly, for him, Obama, and Pelosi, it is a good day.
242 days and counting!
Every month, when jobs numbers come out...
neoavatara (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 12:13PM EST (link)We should remind people that Democrats are using reconciliation to pass health care while we watch more jobs being lost.
What is their priority?

Brian Johnson (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 12:20PM EST (link)They’re obviously focusing like a laser beam on the job and the economy…we’re just too stupid to understand that!
36,000 jobs
ss396 Friday, March 5th at 12:34PM EST (link)Were those 36,000 jobs net of the “saved or created” number for the month?
You said / he heard:
You might as well ask him to stop breathing. (And, No – I will NOT develop that thought any further.)
If you pay someone to sit on his butt, you can’t be surprised when he does.
Why would the walls need to be padded?
The_Gadfly (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 12:37PM EST (link)Dingy Harry will obviously bounce off even the hardest of wall materials with little damage. In fact, if you pad them he might get stuck and suffocate during an inelastic collision.
Staggers the mind
RedBeard Friday, March 5th at 12:57PM EST (link)The man is a certifiable loon, in addition to being a nasty, unpleasant, lying leftist.
The insanity is yet another reason to boot him out of office, but it might actually improve his standing a tiny bit, as sympathy for the tragic condition sets it. No one enjoys seeing another human being trussed up in a straightjacket. Well, maybe a little.

Outrageous
pirate55 (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 3:35PM EST (link)There is something seriously flawed if not WRONG when the Senate Majority Leader likens the loss of 36,000 jobs in a single 28 day period as GOOD. It is a perfect example at how out of touch elected officials such as Reid are. And to my fellow citizens in NEVADA. To re-elect this man would make you just as OUT OF TOUCH as he is!
That is what I was thinking - Feb has 28 days
izoneguy (Diary) Friday, March 5th at 9:13PM EST (link)But of course we still have “20″ working days in a month…..
36,000 lost jobs in one month is still 1800 jobs per day!
1800 folks per day who now have to scramble to find work
and/or file for unemployment.
Even 36,000 per month is still 432,000 jobs lost per year!
This is good? I am afraid that any healthcare bill that gets signed
into law will spell doom for the private sector….
36,000 per month will be 360,000 per month for the next 3 years at least. Until Obama’s marxism is pushed back then private sector employment will continue to suffer. And remember – all those government jobs are paid for with the taxes that those private sector employees pay….of course federal workers pay taxes but that is like skimming from the casino.
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.
the destruction
olddog Monday, March 8th at 12:20PM EST (link)of the economy is their goal, so those jobs lost, are a good day toward the goal . What better way to destroy our constitution, than to collapse the economy. and they know, c–p floats so they will be good,at the top of the heap. Never slack off, for they seek to take down the greatest society in history, by destroying family, religious, and patriotic values, by indoctrinating our kids, and now they aren’t teaching history or are teaching an altered version of history. Contact by phone or email, your representatives in D.C. , let them know where you stand. Freedom is a fragile flower and must be tended constantly.

The truth is in the Census
leehazel Monday, March 8th at 10:43PM EST (link)The fact is that if it were not for the hiring of thousands for the 3 month job of taking the census the numbers would have been way beyond ONLY 36,000.
As for Ried (the Mad Hatter) I really can’t think of anything more pitiful than a lying moron. This poor soul went around the bend some time ago. It is just a matter of time before he is sent home to Nevada for proper treatment.
