WASHINGTON — So which Sen. Harry Reid will show up in the new Congress?
Colleagues at the R-J this morning quote the majority leader as saying that with President-elect Barack Obama in the White House and a bolstered majority in the U.S. Senate, “I will be able to be a different leader. … There will be a different, softer majority leader, not because of being afraid to continue to fight but there is no need to."
No more ramming horns like bighorn sheep as Reid described his relationship with President George W. Bush. "I will have nobody to butt heads with," the senator told the paper.
But Roll Call, a paper on the Hill, peers through a different lens in a story today about the strained relations between Reid and his Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Democrats tried to defeat McConnell this past election, and Republicans are looking forward to doing the same to Reid when he stands for re-election in 2010.
Roll Call reported: “One veteran Democrat warned that Reid is not afraid of a fight, saying the Majority Leader 'ain’t afraid to whip out the old Searchlight sling blade and cut their nuts off.'”
So he's wearing more pastels this season?
Funny KDR. :)
My thought was, Softer??? Excuse me? Did you say something?
What no more accusations of witch hunts. Surely thou jests with this moron.
I use to be an Ensign supporter, but after watching the puppet dance to his master GWB and trample the US Constitution, manipulate the mass media. Yeah those controlled demolitions on 911 they called em collapses. Those 19 super human arabs that rose from the dead to detonate WTC 7, the lack of visible plane debris at the pentagon and the PA crash site all speak to cover up then you have the cover up.
"Another point, however, is that in the process of telling this overall lie, The 9/11 Commission Report tells many lies about particular issues. This point is implied by my critique's subtitle, "Omissions and Distortions." It might be thought, to be sure, that of the two types of problems signaled by those two terms, only those designated "distortions" can be considered lies.
It is better, however, to understand the two terms as referring to two types of lies: implicit and explicit. We have an explicit lie when the Report claims that the core of each of the Twin Towers consisted of a hollow steel shaft or when it claims that Vice President Cheney did not give the shoot-down order until after 10:10 that morning. But we have an implicit lie when the Commission, in its discussion of the 19 alleged suicide hijackers, omits the fact that at least six of them have credibly been reported to be still alive, or when it fails to mention the fact that Building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed. Such omissions are implicit lies partly because they show that the Commission did not honor its stated intention "to provide the fullest possible account of the events surrounding 9/11." They are also lies insofar as the Commission could avoid telling an explicit lie about the issue in question only by not mentioning it, which, I believe, was the case in at least most instances.

I believeEnsign is highly suspect of patriotic duty for his unswavering allegiance to a dictator instead of using his office to represent the American people.
Will Reid do better? I hope.

Bill Clinton will probably be remembered as the most corrupt president in American history. Aside from being the ONLY popular elected president ever impeached, Bill Clinton's legacy extends to little more than widespread rococco corruption.

In May 2007, fishermen, tribal leaders and environmental leaders from northwest California went to Omaha to ask Buffett to tear down four dams on the Klamath River. The dams, owned by Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary Pacific Corp., are currently up for relicensing. The dams have had a devastating effect on the Klamath River fisheries. Members of the Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk tribes who depend on these fisheries have been especially hard hit. In September, 2002, low water flows resulting from the dams caused the death of at least 33,000 adult salmonids. As of July 2007, with Klamath River waters dangerously low once again, it is unclear what action Buffett will take.

Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!
Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone that's Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax payers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week.
Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one way!
As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night.'
Cost to us another $60,000.
Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours.
I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.
Madame Pelosi wants you and I to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires.
These people are nuts.
