Harry Reid Renames The GOP the ‘Banana Republicans’

While speaking to the media today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid coined a new term for the GOP. Sen. Reid called them the banana Republicans.

-snip (video)

Majority Leader Reid said, “I’ve heard the idea of a short term extension floated. Let me be very, very clear.The Senate’s bill is a short term extension. That’s what it is. It’s a six week funding bill. That’s all it is, six weeks. If we can’t pass this, we are in a truly banana Republican mindset. This is what we look at other countries doing. The United States funding the government for a week or ten days at a time? Not so good.”

5. There was an old campaign song years ago which for me still applies:

"I'm Just Wild About Harry"

Really. I know knuckledraggers like to ridicule him and abuse him almost as much as the President. But he's still there. Like a Timex watch, takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. It will be a sad day when he retires.
