SO...Reid's response to caving on Bush Tax Cuts is that Hu Jintao is a "dictator." Alrighty then!

The remarks were made during an interview with the local Las Vegas news show Face to Face with Jon Ralston.

"You talked about some other things that you think will stimulate the economy," host Jon Ralston noted. "You talked about that middle class tax cut. You crowed about that today. Of course you had to make a deal on that, and you had to get some things including a tax cut for the very rich. You still believe that was the best deal for this country?"

"Jon, I'm going to go back to Washington tomorrow and meet with the president of China," Reid began. "He is a dictator. He can do a lot of things. He, through the form of government they have."

"Maybe I shouldn't have said 'dictator,'" he quickly added. "They have a different type of government than we have, and that's an understatement."
