This guy is a real piece of work. From Politico:
Reid: Teddy's death "going to help us"
"The Reno Gazette-Journal has a sit-down with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who addresses the Ted Kennedy question in, um, an interesting way.
"Q: How will U.S. Sen. (Edward) Kennedy's death affect things?
"A: 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."
Isn't that special?
I've known for a long time that Harry was a sick puppy. But it's a little surprising to see him put that character flaw on such bold display.
BTW--all you Republicans don't go feeling smug. The Dems are in charge right now, but you were damn near as bad when you had the upper hand.
I'm starting to come around on the whole, "term limits," train of thought.
