WASHINGTON — That Nevada’s two senators, Harry Reid and John Ensign, refrain from criticizing one another in public is known – it’s part of their non-aggression pact.
But did anyone ever peg them to be soul mates?
Apparently Reid thinks so, as he explained in making the case today on the Senate floor that Republican Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota should step aside rather than contest the results of the recount in his narrowly lost re-election to comedian Al Franken.
Reid recalled his tough re-election in 1998 in Nevada, which he barely won by 428 votes after Ensign decided to concede rather than pursue a recount or lawsuit.
Reid described that choice as “one of the reasons that John Ensign and I are soul mates.”
“Listen, our politics are so different. But our friendship is as good as it gets,” Reid said.
Coleman must not have heard. He field a lawsuit today challenging the Minnesota results.
So....when are these love birds going to get off their lazy "souls" and actually do something for NevaDUH?

Would you folks in Nevada plase wake up and vote Reid out? He really is an embarrassment.
Mike in Ohio.
Look, this is more evidence that the two parties - you know the dumbs and reprobates - are not really different. One time I was eating lunch in Buffalo, NY and the democratic county chairman and the republican county chairman were lunching together. I believe they did this all the time and among their activities was to divide the spoils. The peoples' will had little or nothing to do with it. Maybe we in NevaDuh should advocate kicking Ohio out of the union if folks from there continue to interfere with this place of libertarian possibilities.
I agree Reid needs to go! Coleman needs to fight the outcome of the "recount", the Dems are trying to steal the election in Minnesota. If the election in 1998 were reversed and Ensign had won by 428 votes Reid would have sued and demanded a recount, because for Dem's it's better to spend a ton of money fighting the peoples will and causing a big stink, where as Conservatives, accept outcomes and fight even harder the next time around.
