Reid's head so far up his ass, he is turning inside out

[yojon]

From today's New York Times...
________________________________________________________________________
And while the Senate's Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, voted in favor of Ms. Rice, he said he was disappointed that the White House and some Republican lawmakers had tried to "stifle debate" on the nominee.

"Our Founding Fathers meant for us to carefully consider the matters brought before us, and make sure our government does not act irrationally and does not act without a plan and vision for our country's future," Mr. Reid said in a statement. "Silence is not an important part of American history. Debate is."

Well Harry, I guess debate is an important part of American history but voting your principles is not. I wonder if the dust bin of American history is an important part. See ya there! Bye!

1. What if he believes in allowing a president to choose his cabinet?

Like Feingold does? Where does that leave your invective?

[bahrbearian]

4. Yeah lets just get rid of the Senate and the House.

[yojon]

5. Guess you're right

If he wants to approve a documented repeat perjerer who engineered the false rush to war and who said that diplomacy was the least favorite part of her job for Secretary of State, I guess he should do that.

Actually, if the framers wanted the president to be free to choose his cabinet, they would not have asked the Senate to be involved.

I think my invective is intact.

7. Why not Charles Manson? He's be a better SOS than Rice.

[yojon]

10. Please explain why Manson would do a better job than rice

[genius]

13. She's responsible for the death's of 3000 Americans. Manson isn't.

Also, he's significanly more intelligent than Condi. Seriously, he's got a high IQ.

[genius]

14. I forgot about all the deaths her wars have caused. Anyone have a better

total?

[elehhhhna]

21. Well, Manson is a waaaaaaay better liar. Pretty persuasive guy.

[elehhhhna]

23. Plus the swastika on his head keeps him 'on message' for the Bush Admin.

[yojon]

17. Maybe W would feel threatened in his job with Manson around

they do have certain similarities

[saracat]

12. Ever heard of oversight?

What is the purpose of having representatives if they just rubberstamp the Presidential choices? And Feingold id dead wrong on this. Why should this moran , whose choices have been an utter disaster, have his choice in anything? Unless of course, you somehow respect his ability to make a decent choice?

19. Strange

"What if he believes in allowing a president to choose his cabinet?"

I just cannot understand that reasoning. If Reid supports Boxer, then he must believe her allegations against Rice. He then votes to confirm anyway? I find that behavior very puzzling.

[jpgray]

22. Boxer does not believe in allowing a president to choose his cabinet

Reid respects her belief, and supports her actions to express it. I don't see what's so hard about this?

[sendero]

25. That is a lame-ass Repuke talking point EXCUSE

There is advice and consent to protect the American people from having unqualified or unsuitable people appointed to important posts.

The president gets to pick the cabinet he wants, but not someone that the country thinks (through its congresspersons) cannot do the job.

I can't agree with anyone who falls for such a quixotic rationale for letting Al Capone choose his gang with impunity.

[jpgray]

27. I choose to disagree with you that Feingold is a lame-ass Repuke. (nt)

[Teaser]

2. Yawn.

Yawn.

[McKenzie]

26. Oi Teaser...yawning's catching...I'm doing it now... n/t

[Pirate Smile]

3. He gave a great speech defending the Senator's that spoke out. Did you

see it?

[yojon]

8. No missed it...

Did he explain why he voted in favor?

[MoJoWorkin]

9. Great---

He won't speak out himself, but will defend those who do. THAT IS NOT A LEADER. That is a disgrace!

[DaveinMD]

6. yawn

[Pirate Smile]

11. I should have stuck with your response - yawn.

[KissMeKate]

15. yeah, get some testicular fortitude,. Reid-

talk is cheap.

[Vinca]

16. We don't know what his principles are.

It appears he has more in common with Joe, Zell and the Republicans than any of us.

[yojon]

18. I think this is a right-on appraisal

Wonder if the dems will get it next month when time comes around for a new chairperson....

[Pepperbelly]

20. What's with all the flame-throwing people suddenly coming out of the ...

woodwork to criticize Democrats?

[KittyWampus]

24. Many Of Them Are Disruptors, Pepperbelly. And It Says Something About

those who bash Democrats... that they're bile is so easy for trolls to imitate.

[yojon]

28. Were you thinking that Reid is a democrat?

I'm not so sure.....

[Pepperbelly]

29. His Democratic credentials are not in question ...

others who have jumped in here ... well, we don't really know much about their Democratic credentials at all, do we?
