FLASHPOINT for Jul 13, 2007

Need a new bumper sticker? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently put a lot of them in the mail along with a letter that contained a pitch for money for him. The fender art reads: Give 'Em Hell Harry. The accompanying missive touts all of the supposed accomplishments of the Reid-led Congress and promises "an aggressive and visionary agenda for change." The language is pretty boiler plate - more health care coverage, out of Iraq, fighting special interests. Lots of boxing metaphors, too, from the former boxer. But even if you decide not to contribute $25 or $35 or $50 or $100 and especially if you check the box Reid prefers - "other" - you still get to keep the bumper sticker.
