Looney Liberal of the Week: Harry Reid

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This week's award goes to Harry Reid. This idiot hijacked the U.S. Senate by calling on a rarely used procedure called Rule 21 to force the Senate into secret session. To make matters worse, Reid invoked the procedure without consulting the Republican leadership prior to doing so... a time-honored tradition. Reid then went on to accuse the Bush administration of misusing CIA intelligence to justify the war in Iraq, and even suggested that the indictment of "Scooter" Libby was proof of a White House cover-up.

Reid's actions were clearly recognized as a "stunt", even by the liberal-biased MSM. The fact that it was reported as such, suggests that even the media felt his action was "over-the-top".

Why did he do it? It should be patently obvious. The recent indictment of "Scooter" Libby had been grabbing all the headlines until President Bush announced Judge Samuel Alito as his nominee for Associate Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, filling the vacancy being created by the resignation of Sandra Day O'Connor. At that point, Alito was all the talk, and "Scooter" was fading into the background. Reid's stunt was nothing more than a way to try and keep the media's focus on what the Democratic Party leadership is hoping to turn into a black-eye for the Bush administration.

But it appears that Reid's attempt has back-fired. Not only is Libby out of the news (probably until February), but the MSM failed to march to the beat of the DNC drum... no doubt because Reid's antics were so obviously a "stunt". What an idiot!
