A Bad Morning for Harry Reid
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might just want to go back to bed and pull the covers over his head this morning.
After all, there's good news from Iraq -- the security situation is improving, and steps are being taken toward political reconciliation.
What's more, as Hugh Hewitt points out, Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is hanging tough, and running rings around Reid when it comes to using the sometimes arcane procedures of the US Senate.
It would, of course, be easier to feel some twinge of pity for Reid if he hadn't revealed himself so willing to jettison every principle in the quest for political advantage when it comes to Iraq. But alas. As it is, it's hard to feel sympathy for anyone when bad news for them is good news for the country -- and vice versa. And that's just where the Democrats are when it comes to the war in Iraq.
Enjoy your August recess, Senator.

Oh Carol, keep telling yourself that we're rooting for the bus to go over the cliff if makes you feel better.
It is, after all, the only thing left for you to cling to.
What a fool!
Hewitt wants to satisfy that base of 26 percenters and dropping fast, while the rest of the party leaves out of disgust. And that'll get the Repugs another blood bath of their own party come elections.
Leadership of deceit and trickery, never plays well in the long run, in America.

Yup.
Could be why Harry Reid is having such a rough go of it as Senate Majority Leader.
Reid is doing fine. He forced those Republican Senators that are trying to straddle the fence on the failed surge and Iraq invasion for '08 elections, back into their box.
