Reid Admits To Playing Games

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Harry Reid (D-NV), the Senate Minority Leader, yesterday admitted that the Democrats were playing games when it came to the issue of Karl Rove. Reid's admission came in response to the statement by President Bush that "if someone committed a crime" by releasing the name of an undercover CIA operative, then that person will "no longer work in my administration."

The Liberal Mainstream Media immediately pounced on the statement by Bush, suggesting that he was "raising the bar" for a potential dismissal, and "lowering the bar" for ethics standards. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan responded to these accusations by saying,"If the bar is raised on one end and lowered on the other end, the bar will be pretty crooked. So I hope you don't mean to suggest that anyone in this administration is crooked".

At a news conference later in the day, Senator Harry Reid said that it was apparent that President Bush's comments were an attempt to 'lengthen the field'. In an obvious reference to the game of football, Reid was suggesting that President Bush was making it more difficult for the Democrats to 'score a touchdown' on this issue. Clearly, Harry Reid and the Democrats view the entire situation as a game. This leads one to speculate: How long have the Democrats have been 'playing games' in Washington instead of doing the nation's business?

Karl Rove said today, "I've been kicked around so much, I'm beginning to feel like a football".
