Flashpoint for Nov. 29, 2005

Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2005 | 8:54 a.m.

Harry Reid has been called a lot of things, many of them without laughter attached. Lately, the epithets must be flying in GOP conclaves. But who would have guessed the Senate minority leader, never compared to Cicero, would get credit for "a re-education camp on public speaking." That's how Roll Call described how the Democrats, under Reid's stewardship, tried to present a unified voice. And that voice usually says, "America can do better." This all comes, Roll Call reports, from Reid and others talking to "message gurus" after the 2004 electoral disaster. And now Reid, once seen as too milquetoast to ever deliver on TV, is the message guru of the national Democratic Party. Now that is funny.
