Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid says unemployed men beat their wives. And since Harry will undoubtedly be unemployed as of Wednesday, November 3, we suggest that Mrs. Reid take a self-defense course or two.

The Hill reports the story of Punchy Harry’s pugilistic prognostications:

Reid, speaking in the midst of a Senate debate over whether to pass a $15 billion package meant to spur job creation, appeared to argue that joblessness would lead to more domestic violence.



“I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “Why? Men don’t have jobs.”

Reid said that the effects of joblessness on domestic violence were especially pronounced among men, because, Reid said, women tend to be less abusive.

“Women don’t have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time,” he said.

“Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive,” the majority leader added. “Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.”

Our money’s on Mrs. Reid. We’re pretty sure she can beat that pasty, sunken-chested little fella like a drum.

Of course, it won’t be nearly as bad as the beating he gets from his Republican opponent.
