Wall Street Journal: Harry Jekyll and Harry Hyde

(via Wall Street Journal) · September 4, 2009 · 4:01 PM

In the Las Vegas Sun, readers saw an op-ed by Harry Reid. “I have never taken up the Washington hobby of pointing fingers for political gain,” reassured Nevada’s eminently reasonable, bipartisan, four-term senator, the Wall Street Journal reported.

A few hours later, Mr. Reid appeared for the national press, armed with a piece of Astroturf, to berate town-hall protestors as captive to "Internet rumor mongers and insurance rackets." The Republican Party "is run by a talk-show host," snapped Washington's eminently angry and partisan majority leader.

Welcome to Mr. Reid's bipolar world, which isn't about to fuse any time soon.

Reid will be remembered as a great US Senator while his critics will fade into the dust!

This scumbag has a bipolar disorder and will say anything to stay in office. Hopefully nevadians will throw him out of office.

The name callers in the comments section are idiots who are wasting their time and ours. The Wall St. Journal would do a better job of reporting if they'd stick to what they are supposed to do and investigate and report on the millions of crooks who operate right under their noses and rob the public of their hard earned money, avoid taxes, side step regulations and are trying to take control of the social security fund. Its called derivitives and credit default swaps and stuff like that which cannot be regulated as per the assistance of the Rep. Party. Madoff ran the biggest scam in history right up the street from the Wall Street Jounal asleep at the wheel in spite of hundreds and hundreds of red flags. What a paper. No credibility at all now. Wake up you idiots and deal with the reality. 700 million spent in Iraq and a 1.2 trillion dollar CriminalBush tax cut. You idiots calling folks scumbags fully support this destruction of our great nation. It is for all intents and purposes been ruined by that war monger for the last several years and that's why President Obama won, idiots. Torture and self spying and outing of CIA agents are all included in the misfits administration. He was an AWOL lowlife, a coke user and a drunk with several DUI'S and he got elected by the idiots who comment in the comments section.

Reid is a brainless clown and class warfare practicioner. How many sleazy deals does he need to cut before Nevadans wake up.

This is not about party politics, it's about the future of the country being flushed down the toilet by the likes of Reid, Rangel, Pelosi and the useless "opposition party" republicans who have only contributed to the mess we are in now.

The partisan support from the acorn shills here is big comedy given how stupid and corrupt Reid is.
