Far-Right Outrage of the Day

Drudge and the Weekly Standard totally lost their shpadoinkle over this clip of Harry Reid talking about bike paths. The Weekly Standard headline:

Harry Reid Takes On the Great Issue of Our Day . . . Bike Paths!

And Drudge thought valuable time was being wasted.

Reid talked about bike paths for a sum total of 49 seconds. And you know what? They're a great idea. Reliable bicycle paths reduce vehicle traffic, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, reduce smog and air pollution and building new paths will create thousands of jobs.

Republicans are evidently opposed to all of these things -- for no reason other than Harry Reid mentioned bike paths for 49 seconds. Un-effing-believable.
