Harry Reid’s political posturing bites him (and all of us) in the ass

So whose fault is the recent downgrade? Is it the Tea Party’s as spin masters David Axelrod and John Kerry are expounding? Or is it that crazy old coot Harry Reid in the Senate?

So whose fault is the recent downgrade? Is it the Tea Party’s as spin masters David Axelrod and John Kerry are expounding? Or is it that crazy old coot in the Senate who was recently waxing poetic about his pomegranate trees or some damn thing?

Reid: "How long do you think we can fool 'em, Barry?" Obama: "Just keep wavin' and smilin', Harry."

Reuters outlines how Reid’s political posturing back in December of last year prevented the timely address of the debt ceiling problem:

The reason we’re hitting the debt ceiling, remember, is that the budget passed by both Republicans and Democrats forces us to do so. As a result, the obvious time and place to raise the debt ceiling is when you pass the budget. This isn’t just obvious now, it was obvious then. And the person who thought it was a bad idea? Harry Reid.

Ol’ Harry expressed that very thought back in 2010:

Reid also said that he would like to push off raising the debt ceiling until next year — when Republicans control the House, but that he has not discussed the matter yet with his caucus.

“Let the Republicans have some buy-in on the debt. They’re going to have a majority in the House,” said Reid. “I don’t think it should be when we have a heavily Democratic Senate, heavily Democratic House and a Democratic president.”

Keep in mind, Reid didn’t want the Republicans to join the fun as any kind of gesture of good will or across the aisle ass kissing. No, he simply didn’t want to provide Republicans with another club with which to beat not only Obama, but any other Democrat running for re-election in 2012.

Reuters sums up Reid’s leadership failures as follows:

Forcing a majority-Republican House to vote to raise the debt ceiling might have seemed like a good idea at the time. But it’s not exactly the epitome of leadership. Indeed, it seems to have led the country straight into something which risks being downright catastrophic.

So it seems that President Obama isn’t the only Democrat capably of destroying the economy all by his lonesome. Harry Reid is a close second and coming on strong.

Unemployment up to 9.1%. For some odd reason, Harry Reid thinks that’s good news.

For god’s sake, who was in charge of Harry Reid this week? Whoever it was screwed up by letting him read today’s jobs report and then by letting him get in front of a microphone again.

For god’s sake, who was in charge of Harry Reid this week? Whoever it was screwed up by letting him read today’s jobs report and then by letting him get in front of a microphone again.

First, today’s miserable jobs report, followed by the addled old coot’s reaction to it:

Employers in May added the fewest jobs in eight months, and the unemployment rate inched up to 9.1 percent. The weakening job market raised concerns about an economy hampered by gas prices and the Japanese nuclear disaster.

The key question is whether the meager 54,000 jobs added last month mark a temporary setback or are evidence of a more chronic problem. That total is far lower than the previous three months’ average of 220,000 new jobs per month.

White House correspondent Mark Knoller tweeted poor ol’ Harry’s demented response to a rise in the unemployment rate and a slowdown in hiring:

Harry Reid goes as ballistic and denounces Obama’s 1967 border plan

It certainly doesn’t sound as if he the President passed his “Israel must return to its 1967 borders” concept past Harry Reid for prior approval.

Do you think Barack Obama consults with the other leaders of his party before making one of his grand pronouncements? Or does he just assume they’ll blindly follow his lead? (And just to be clear, when we say “his party” we mean the Democrats, not Hamas.)

It certainly doesn’t sound as if he the President passed his “Israel must return to its 1967 borders” concept past Harry Reid for prior approval.

Reid spoke to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and actually sounded angry about Obama’s plan. Well, if not angry, at least alive, which is a major improvement for ol’ Harry.

“The place where negotiating will happen must be at the negotiating table – and nowhere else,” Reid declared. “Those negotiations … will not happen – and their terms will not be set – through speeches, or in the streets, or in the media.”

And he wasn’t finished. Not nearly. “No one should set premature parameters about borders, about building, or about anything else.”

The crowd burst into applause, something so unknown to Harry that he was nearly startled into a moment of senior incontinence.

Harry Reid Is A Moron, Part CCIX: “The court of appeals is where law is made”

Harry Reid noted of Goodwin Liu after meeting with him, “The court of appeals is where law is made, and we need the finest minds in the world for that.”

Goodwin Liu was nominated for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals by President Obama. Liu’s such an extremist that even a considerable number of Democrats opposed the appointment. As a result, Liu’s nomination went down in flames on Wednesday.

The majority leader in the United States Senate doesn't understand what his duties are

Let’s go to Senate majority leader Harry Reid for a comment via NetRight Daily:

Liu was nominated by Obama in 2010 and again in 2011for a seat on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Senate Judiciary Committee had approved him by a vote of 10-8. Had Liu been confirmed by the Senate, many expect that he would have eventually been promoted to the Supreme Court.

As Harry Reid noted of Goodwin Liu after meeting with him, “The court of appeals is where law is made, and we need the finest minds in the world for that.”

We’re looking for volunteers. Who’d like to tell Harry that the courts are supposed to interpret the law and the legislature is supposed to make it?

You know, the legislature. The part of the government in which Harry Freakin’ Reid has served for 25 years.

What a moron.

Harry Reid’s inspirational speech: We need the people of America to rise up for amnesty

We’re not sure why they call Barack Obama the greatest orator of all time. Not while Harry Reid’s alive, that is.

If anything can build a fire under a crowd and convince them to rise up, it’s an exciting speech by the Nevada dynamo.

Here’s ol’ Harry calling on the American people to rise up and let their elected leaders know how important the DREAM Act is.

/sarcasm-off. Seriously, would anyone be surprised to find out that Harry’s addicted to Quaaludes? He must be the single most boring speaker in the history of America. In fact, it’s possible that Harry Reid is just one huge Weekend At Bernie‘s prank on the American people.

Harry Reid talks about how much he enjoys hearing the version of the Pledge of Allegiance that omits God

Harry Reid, Nevada’s senile Democrat Senator, really enjoys hearing the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of each Senate session. Interestingly, Harry’s version doesn’t include the words “under God.”

These dogs won’t hunt: Doddering Harry Reid explains why NPR must be funded

Would someone find out if there’s a nice rest home in Searchlight, Nevada. If there is, would you be so kind as to reserve a room for Harry Reid?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was speaking, giving kudos to participants in Alaska’s famous Iditarod dogsled race, when an increasingly doddering Harry Reid interrupted and asked for the floor:

“They had a really, really good piece on public radio before the start of the race,” Reid said. “I hesitate saying this because I know I will probably get in trouble, but this is a good reason why the House vote was bad today to defund public radio.”

According to NPR’s liberal supporters, its programming somehow manages to span an unspannable gap and appeal simultaneously to eastern elites and rural rednecks. It appeals to everyone, damn it.

Which, of course, raises the question, if it appeals to everyone why doesn’t it have better ratings?

Mush, you huskies. And mush for brains.

Announcing the Harry Reid Cowboy Limerick Contest

In honor of the Nevada Democrat and the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, we want you to put on your ten-gallon thinking caps and write a Harry Reid Cowboy Limerick.

UPDATE: AND THE WINNER IS…

Congratulations to Mic Tienken for this winning entry:

There once was a cowboy named Reid

Who’s nanny state filled every need

Till they ran out of money

And it wasn’t too funny

When he found out that rocks just don’t bleed

Our odds of surviving this fiscal crisis are lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut (nice western imagery, huh?), but Harry Reid can’t find a single thing to cut from the federal budget. Not even funding for a cowboy poetry festival in Elko, Nevada.

So in honor of the Nevada Democrat and the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, we want you to put on your ten-gallon thinking caps and write a Harry Reid Cowboy Limerick.

In an online forum, Ken Jennings told readers: “[Sens.] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] and Harry Reid [D-Nev.] both called him in 2004 to try to get me to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate seat.”

In case you’re not a Jeopardy fan, let us explain who Ken Jennings is. You’re typically considered a very successful Jeopardy champion is you can win five games. Ken Jennings won 74 straight games back in 2004. He didn’t just win the games, he destroyed his opponents.

Turns out that winning a game show now qualifies you to be a Democrat senator.
TheHill.com has the details:

In an online forum, Jennings told readers: “[Sens.] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] and Harry Reid [D-Nev.] both called me back personally in 2004 to try to get me to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate seat.”

Schumer went on to become head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2005 and earned a reputation for recruiting top candidates.

Jennings continued: “I am not making this up. Win on a game show and you can apparently run for the US Senate. That was when I realized the Democratic Party was f@#$ed in ’04.”

C’mon, guys. If intelligence was a prerequisite for being in the Senate, the Democrats couldn’t get quorum.

Is that a pick axe in your hand or are you just happy to see me?

U.S. Sen. Harry Reid took aim at the world’s oldest profession Tuesday, telling state lawmakers the time has come to have an adult conversation about Nevada’s legal sex trade if the state hopes to succeed in the 21st century.

The Democratic Senate majority leader’s comments before a joint session of the Legislature came as owners, lobbyists and working girls for Nevada’s brothel industry looked on from the gallery.

Reid, who won re-election to a fifth term in November, focused his speech on the job creation efforts in a state hard hit by the Great Recession.

Harry Reid’s proposal was greeted by silence…

No one should be surprised that the proposal was greeted by silence. Wouldn’t you also be stunned into complete silence if you heard Harry Reid discussing sex?

“I’ve been one who does believe in our Constitution, separation of powers. And one of the issues that I have fought (for) is to make sure the White House doesn’t continually take from us our power. Everyone should understand this earmark issue is simply that – a way for the Executive branch of government to steal power we’ve been granted in our Constitution. We have a Constitutional duty to do Congressionally-directed spending. And I don’t want to gie up that responsibility. I can’t understand why some of the more conservative members here want to give up their power. I don’t understand that.”

Absolutely true. If there’s one thing Harry doesn’t understand, it’s giving up power.

Gallup.com has the devastating details:

Americans’ assessment of Congress has hit a new low, with 13% saying they approve of the way Congress is handling its job. The 83% disapproval rating is also the worst Gallup has measured in more than 30 years of tracking congressional job performance.

The prior low approval rating for Congress was 14% in July 2008 when the United States was dealing with record-high gas prices and the economy was in recession.

Congratulations to Harry and Nancy. They say that records were made to be broken, so it’s nice to see that you guys were able to beat your own previous low. But we think you’re just getting started. If you can just cram this Omnibus Spending Bill through Congress, we have a feeling you can set another new record next month.

Harry Reid practices his legendary consensus building technique

And it looks like the distinguished Senator from Nevada is wasting no time. According to our friends at CBS news:

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, who clung to his seat in Congress in Tuesday’s election and will return to Washington as the Senate Majority Leader according to CBS News poll projections, told “The Early Show” Wednesday he has always played the role of “consensus builder,” and looks forward to continuing that work.

Unless we are very much mistaken as to the definition of “consensus-builder” we beg to differ. We beg to differ a lot.

The only consensus Harry Reid can be seriously credited with is the opinion, held by a majority of the American people, that he is a moron. Unfortunately, that majority appear to neither live in Nevada nor vote in their elections.

Not that we blame the good folks of that great state too much. Sending him back to Washington was the best way to keep him out of their state.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) fired back at his Republican opponent Sharron Angle Thursday for telling him to “man up” when it comes to Social Security reform.

Reid, who is in a deadlocked race with the Tea Party-backed GOP nominee, said that people know where he stands on the issues while Angle is a mystery to Nevada voters.

“People in Nevada know me,” he said on the “Ed Show” on MSNBC. “From the street to the ring to the Senate chambers, I’ve never had to prove my manhood to anyone.”

harry-reid-chris-coons-pet
Being Harry Reid's pet is bad enough, but don't let him pet you.

Reid said Coons would have won even if Rep. Mike Castle (R) had prevailed over O’Donnell.

“I’m going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate,” Reid said.

“Let me tell you about him: A graduate of Yale Divinity School. Yale Law School. A two-time national debate champion. He represents two-thirds of the state now, in an elected capacity. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen him or heard him speak, but he is a dynamic speaker. I don’t mean loud or long; he’s a communicator. So that’s how I feel about Delaware. I’ve always thought Chris Coons is going to win. I told him that and I tried to get him to run. I’m glad he’s running. I just think the world of him. He’s my pet.”

My pet? Reid is one “cara mia” away from sounding like Gomez Addams cooing to Morticia. Reid is one of the most reviled politicians in Washington, DC. This can’t help Coons.

The Detroit News has, as its name would imply, the news:

The Heartland Institute reports that while the Senate Majority Hypocrite “and other high-profile environmental activists blasted carbon-based fuels at the Reid-sponsored summit, Reid and other bigwigs were caught on film driving to and from the summit in several SUVs.”

“I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists,” said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. “If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit,” said Taylor.

Read your own words, Taylor. The man would have had to walk 100 yards. One hundred yards. Have you seen Harry Reid lately? We’re not sure the decrepit old curmudgeon could actually walk that far under his own power.
