Harry Reid falling on his sword?
« on: January 10, 2010, 10:52:00 PM »
Took a look at Drudge headlines this evening.

It's all about Harry Reid.  How much we all hate and loathe Harry... how he's trailing in the polls, driving around our neighborhoods cat-calling the colored girls, and punching doctors in the nose and stealing their lunch money.  That and he hasn't taken a bath in six months.

Well... there's a ...bit... of exaggeration in there. =D  But it's a "beat up on Harry" day at Drudge.

It almost seems deliberate.

S'pose Harry intends to be the fall guy in order to get health care and immigration reform through?  What seat will he fill in the Cabinet in 2011?  Or, will he go overseas?  I'm not aware of any country he's particularly beholden to that he'd like to visit as a Representative of the United States Government.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."

He's made himself a pile of money while in government, and he might simply be ready to retire.

Give up power? Not bluiddy likely.

Reid may well take one for the cause.  However, the Democrat Party will take care of him.  He has no worries ultimately.

My guess is that he will ultimately decide to "retire" so that another fresh candidate can take up the Nevada torch.

I think there's been some talk of a cabinet position for Reid.

I have a small cabinet he can take a position in:

That would be bad enough; it's the Supreme Court I'm worried about.

Reid doesn't merit supreme court.  Now, either of the Clintons...

Reid's son is raking in the dough as a lobbyist, I'm sure he can get dear ol dad
a job.
