WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid messed up his health care vote -- again.
When it came time today for the senator to stand at his desk and cast his vote on the health care bill’s reconciliation package, the majority leader stood at his desk, put his hands on the podium and voted “no.”
No?
Reid shook his head and quickly flashed a thumbs-up sign to change his vote to “yes.”
Reid made the same mistake Christmas Eve when the Senate convened a rare session to pass the historic health care reform bill that President Barack Obama signed into law on Tuesday.
At that time, Reid’s mistake drew gasps from the packed chamber and its galleries. Today, it drew a chuckle.
Once again, the reason was fairly simple: That was one tired majority leader.
Reid had been up until well past 3 a.m. as the debate on the reconciliation bill continued through the night. He was back on the floor at 9 a.m.
Reid joked with senators afterward he was making these “no” votes a habit.
Thank you Senator Reid for your hard work. I know you must have been exhausted after an entire day and night of baby sitting John McCain and the rest of the preschool republicons.
Reid is an idiot! How did this jerk last this long. Come on November!

Lack of civility, desertsun??? In my opinion, you and your pals seem to copy one another in bad/worse/worst contests. Shameful.
I'm just wondering if this was a Freudian slip.
ecm: My wife said the same thing. Great minds, I guess.
Lisa: "messed up?"
If you have ever met him he acts a little senile and a very weak handshake. Cannot wait to see him tossed out in November. His son is no better, do not vote for him either!
Reid go home! You won't have too long to wait till Nov. You and old Pelosi need to retire and enjoy the super health care that you have since it is very different from the crap you are giving the people.
Go Republicans! Hope there will be a large amount of Repubs voted in office in Nov.
Harry Reid, go back to Searchlight where you belong. If I said Dementia, would you give me a No, Yes or NOYES, thumbs up or down or middle finger thinking it meant something else?
weak handshake? I'd never even want to touch him.
