Denial Is A River Running Through The Reality-Based Community

Lots of reaction from the lefties to the recent stories linking Harry Reid with Jack Abramoff, most of it of the self-serving tortured logic variety. The AP sets the stage (curiously, the story isn’t getting much play from the New York Times):
Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid wrote at least four letters helpful to […]

Oh, That All-Republican Scandal?

Say it ain’t so…I’ve been assured by everyone that Abramoff only touched the corrupt Republicans…but here come rumors that Harry Reid is in big, big trouble…Chris Wallace caught Howard Dean this morning with a report from the Center for Responsive Politics:
WALLACE: I just want to ask you about this question of the Democratic involvement. I […]

Harry Reid Joins Lunatic Fringe For Weeklong Party Binge In Vegas

Do I lie? No, no - here’s the proof:
The YearlyKos Board of Directors announced today that Democratic Senator Harry Reid will speak at the 2006 YearlyKos bloggers convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Senator Reid’s reputation as a common sense leader who unapologetically stands for what he believes in has made him a hero to many progressives, […]

Lieberman’s’ Courage Met With Scorn

How does a Democrat who dissents from the ‘progressive’ viewpoint on Iraq get treated? Let’s take a look:
Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) is troubled by Lieberman’s comments, Reid’s aides said. “I’ve talked to Senator Lieberman, and unfortunately he is at a different place on Iraq than the majority of the American people,” Reid […]

Look in the Mirror, Harry

By now, everyone has heard that Dick Cheney has moved into counterattack mode in a big way, saying: “The President and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone — but we’re not going to sit by and let them rewrite history.” I have nothing new to add, other than […]

Weekly Jackass Number Forty-Eight: Markos Moulitsas Zúniga

Yep, we have our first two-time winner. What has Kos done to earn this distinction? In less than 100 words, he has proven that his political acumen is fast approaching zero. Consider this, referring to yesterday’s precedent-shattering and extremely foolish declaration of partisan war by Harry Reid:
I think it bears restating that Reid […]

Want To Have A Debate On Iraq? Bring It On…

By now, no one is even pretending that yesterday’s partisan move by Harry Reid was anything less than a gimmick to try to derail the Bush comeback:
Democrats did not deny it was a stunt: a brazen effort to change the subject from the Supreme Court confirmation of Sam Alito, which Republicans prefer, to war deaths […]

The Other Side of the Story

The Democratic pitch on today’s brief Senate closed session was that it was necessary to get Pat Roberts to move on Phase 2 of the report on intelligence failures pre-Iraq War. It sounds plausible; maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t, but certainly the timing was meant to coincide with a renewed vigor in the […]

The Grandstanding Harry Reid

The Senate Minority Leader has just taken a quite remarkably partisan and reckless step and moved the Senate into ‘closed session’ to discuss the intelligence that led to war. Fitzmas was a bust, and Alito stole the spotlight, so Reid is trying to steal it back, plan and simple. Horribly irresponsible, but I […]

Reid Makes ‘Subtle’ Filibuster Threat, World Yawns

From our Chillin’ fellow Coalitionist Eric of Viking Pundit fame, commenting on Harry Reid’s implied filibuster threat:
That the Democrats would vote against such a qualified nominee indicates they’re completely in the tank for their special interests. Reid is utterly insane if he believes this is a threat…the filibuster threat…was spayed and neutered last year! The […]

Harry Reid: Tool of Special Interests

Is there any way a Republican can escape slander and opposition from the partisan hacks who rule the Democratic Party? Take John Roberts, a man who, by all accounts, is brilliant, personable, and extremely capable. Democrats on the Judiciary Committee privately praised Roberts as the best candidate to ever appear before them. […]

K-Lo Predicts Brown Resignation

Kathryn Lopez at NRO’s The Corner is predicting a Michael Brown resignation Friday morning. Is that a good move? Probably, in a fall-on-your-sword, protect-the-commander way. I’ve resisted calling for the firing or resignation of Brown, though, for reasons like this:
After Andrew, Mikulski slammed the agency for a “pathetically sluggish” response, and on the […]

Democrats Lead - With Their Rights

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, not wishing to lose out on the Bush-bashing, have apparently forgotten that they hold high positions in Congress and could have proposed legislation dealing with any perceived emergency response shortcomings at any time, unlike President Bush, who, of course, cannot propose any legislation whatsoever.
Here’s what the twin titans of tinfoil […]

Best Wishes To Harry Reid…

…for a complete and speedy recovery. A stroke is no laughing matter, and politics must go by the wayside at times like this. Get well quick, Harry!…
