A Motley Crew

So the Senate Dems have their leaders chosen, and a fine group they are.

The new Senate Majority Leader will be Harry "Windfall" Reid, while the Majority whip will be Dick "The Slanderer" Durbin ("If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings.").

Chuck "Dirty Tricks" Schumer will continue as head of the Democratic SEnatorial Campaign Committee, and Patty "Osama Mama" Murray will take over as conference secretary ("[Osama bin Laden]'s been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. He’s made their lives better."). Debbie "Dangerously Incompetent" Stabenow rounds out the parade of horribles as the chairman of the Democratic steering committee.

A motley crew, indeed . . .
