Now They're Just Antagonizing Us

Harry Reid and his staff, that is. Reid won't be seating Al Franken today because Minnesota hasn't issued their final and official certification. And that's fine. Them's the rules. But check out the reasoning from Reid's office...

"Republicans will object to trying to seat him," said Reid spokesman Jim Manley.

Iiieeeeeee! Whatever we do, we shouldn't do anything that the scary Republicans will object to. Thanks for not offending the Republicans, Mr. Manley. Say, does Senator Reid also cut the crusts off their PB&J sammiches?

Were I Harry Reid and his fellow jellyfish, I'd be way more worried about pissing off Rahm Emanuel than pissing off the Republicans.

I'm watching Reid say that he has repeatedly said that the chimp is the worst president ever. Suddenly I am willing to forgive a bit of his timidity. That statement actually requires balls if you're a politician, even with the monkey's .1% approval rating.

Reid: "Yes, he's the worst president ever. And I have right to say that whenever I want as long as I capitulate to EVERYTHING his administration and the GOP wants and go over for weekly visits so he can teabag me in the Oval Office."

There's an old expression that goes something like "if you act like a doormat, people will wipe their feet on you."

Can we please get new DEM leadership...
These Testicularly Challenged individuals, namely Steny and Harry need to go ASAP

I am tired of the cowardly and overly cautious "leadershiP" these two subscribe to.

While I am no big fan of Nancy, she at least has a bigger nutsack than the two of these DLC triangulating POS bastards.

I'm with lib4! Can't we get a postcard campaign started where we put pressure on Harry and Steny to get some backbone, and stand up to those rethugs?!

Harry Reid is so pathetic.

>>>There's an old expression that goes something like "if you act like a doormat, people will wipe their feet on you."

I thought it was "if Harry Reid acts like a doormat people will bang their heads against the coffee table." I'm having trouble remembering though on account of this headache.

"Republicans will object to trying to seat him." That's just darn good manners, and is the reason why they let Reed butt them in line for the senatorial dining room. Cesca, you're such a ruffian!
