Harry Reid's insistence on telling the truth about the McCain/Lieberman vanity war is driving RNC endorsed sources batshit insane (this deserves a DMS-IV classification all to itself) and pushing media (*choke*) outlets into bolder partisan extremes, but it's proving extraordinarliy popular with the base.  Reid's latest DKos straw poll had his approval rating at 40%.   As of today, that approval rating has soared to 90%.  The Bush junta, the war bloggers and their in-the-tank media might not iike it, but Reid is voicing the opinion of the majority of Americans with regard to the war and the netroots community appears to love him for it.
