I don’t have to tell you that Harry Reid is an incompetent failure at best, and a GOP stooge at worst.
No matter how you slice it, Harry Reid is no friend of progressives and no friend of change. He has to go NOW.

The sooner the better!
In total agreement. He seems to be bending over backwards to give the Republicans a hand when they’re teetering on the edge of a cliff ready to fall.
I’d much rather have a Senate Majority Leader who was willing to give a little shove instead.
Lost a marble, lost a marble, lost a marble Harry Reid..it is lost and gone forever..
I can’t stand the man.
Digg it! Yo LS, long time no see. All of these blogs, it’s a maze, you can get lost in the content.
Ola!!
Harry Reid needs to be flushed out of the Senate leadership and down the toilet of history before he embarrasses himself even more, or destroys O’s agenda.
He has shown himself to be totally incompetent at standing up to Republicans, and only seems to find his spine when he is opposing fellow Dems…
Maybe we should start a petition (I’m sure it’s already happening) to send to other Dem leaders to demand his outster as the Slumbering Symbol of Dem leadership in the Senate!
The fact that a schlub like Reid could become Senate majority leader reminds me of the Rolling Stone article, “Make-Believe Maverick,” in which author Tim Dickinson describes John McCain and George W. Bush of having “failed upward.” The same can be said of Harry.
He’s the Dems version of Specter.
Yep. We just got rid of the worst President of all time. Now let’s get rid of the worste SML or all time.
Yeah, he’s got some major issues, doesn’t he? :D
Angela from Aberdeen
Backlinks
Now this I can agree with. Harry Asshole needs to go becauase he will be an obstructionist right along with the neocons in the Senate. Americans cannot afford either of them right now if we want to go forward.
About time somebody started saying it out-right!
Where’s the form letter for me to sign?
It would be every bit as effective as the petition to pull Lieberman’s chair.
Good video…. amazing how much more could be mentioned.
Anti Choice to add just one.
Is this any way to treat HoJo’s BFF ? /s
Surprising that as a Mormon, Harry even calls himself a Democrat. Not surprising that he doesn’t exhibit evidence of actually being one.
He must have been the weirdest boxer!
He’s one of those infiltrators from the other side..what’s black is white and what is black should not be nominated into the Senate.
He prolly knocked himself out and claimed victory !
In his boxing days, he was known as “The Caveman.” He’d strike a good pose at the start of a match but inevitably cave in.
There was a time when he did, but when 9/11/01 happened, Democrats like Reid decided they had to become a republican to be liked by the republicans. Ewww. The current Governor of Maine is the same as Reid. For some reason these kinds of Democrats spend their days making the republicans happy in the hopes they can all be friends! Fuck that. The republicans can screw for all I care. I’m not ready to make nice with them at all.
LOL
LOL Exactly! I picture him with his shorts pulled up to his nipples and the other guy holding his forehead while Harry Asshole tries to get a punch in, but just punches the air!
For us oldersters…what was that ad that used to run with the really, really skinny guy trying to build his body…I’m sure there is an image, and if I remember correctly…kinda looked like Hairy.
Or maybe Harry was one of those lame-o boxers who did the windmill windup with his arm in the hopes his opponent would be ‘frightened’ by the movement! LOL
It was the Charles Atlas bodybuilding program. Here ya go.
That was it Ratfood.
Here’s Harry the boxer per google. Eeeeek!!! Where is that Harry??? Oh yeah, ask Burris. This time though, Burris will prevail.

Obviously he ate one too many left hooks…
Exactly. He ain’t too smaht at tha moment. ;-)
That’s exactly what I thought to myself after reading his remarks (and Congress’s sentiments) in support of Israel’s war in Gaza.
OT: Feature article in NYT about Nouriel Roubini. Nobody’s laughing at him now. Here’s an excerpt:
(posted the link but it’s too long to work)
As I stated on an earlier thread, I can recall hearing:
Mike Mansfield,
Robert Byrd,
George Mitchell, and
Tom Daschle
all described as “the worst Dem Majority Leader evah!”
Just saying, not necessarily defending.
Like that senator from Pennsylvania.
Orlando FL NPR affiliate features political commentary by former Republican US Congressman Lou Frey and retired Florida State House Democrat Dick Bachellor. They agree on everything. It is just a matter of what temperature each prefers his Republican bathwater.
I don’t know if he is the worst or not but caving to the worst most unpopular President in our history when Democrats were in the majority certainly puts him in the running. But Daschle was really ineffectual too.
Did you hear that the Brits or the European Union said that they might as well extend us some credit. If they don’t give us the credit, we’ll just print more money anyway (cutting them out entirely, eh).
There we have it.
It’s so sick, isn’t it? The neocons come to my blog most days to get me to think like them, which is so hysterical, because I have to remind them time and again that WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON, except maybe, the love of dogs & cats. Other than that, WE ARE SEPARATE ENTITIES, OIL & WATER, APPLES & TIRE GAUGES.
100% agreement
Harry has had his moments, and we should give him credit for them. I think he’s aging fast, and that’s the problem. He’s in a high-stress job, and let’s face it, conflict isn’t a stress-reliever. The guy running the show should be somebody like Schumer, who thrives on it.
Good point, I would surely be incarcerated by now for some sort of inappropriate behavior toward some Republican. Who could resist after listening to McConnell, Sessions, Chambliss, etc. Well, lets just agree that it would it be difficult, if not impossible, to find a collection of assholes of such extraordinary magnitude gathered in any one place at the same time. The cosmic imbalance thus created in the universe is likely generated by such a dense concentration of mental hemorrhoidery must explain the bizarre behavior of all the Democratic Senators. I knew there was a reason they continually do strange things, such as condemn their most vociferous supporters!
finally here after band practice.
we can do better than harry reid, and this vid is only the beginning.
he’s very much like specter: he stabs his friends in the back.
He is a part of the mono-party.
Republican
Democrat
He is a PublicRat
I did not like McCain for a number or reasons (evidence) – then I read that article and was like wow… he was about 20x worse than I had thought.
In particular when he met his hardworking war mate and asked him why the hell he was going to the middle east (because its going to be important) and told him back that he was going to Tiujawan to explitive/bang women (oh, he was married with 2 or 3 kids at the time) – and that was just a drop in the bucket.
Even more suprising that given that he is the Dem SML…
He is a PublicRat.
Schumer sucks.
He is a banker PublicRat.
Fiengold should be SML.
I’ve been saying the same thing for months. Reid is a disaster if not a Republican mole. What will it take to remove him from his leadership position? I’m willing to donate money, sign petitions, call Democratic members of the Senate, march on the Capitol if necessary. Whose with me?
Brendan, why are you insulting stooges and incompetent failures that way?
Harry Reid becoming majority leader reminds me of an article I read about the weakness of our present election system: if two strong contenders battle each other to win an elected position, they can end up destroying each other, and allow a weak third party to win.
My guess is nobody thought Harry Reid was worthy of attacking since they never thought he would ever win leadership. So he was the only one left standing.
Thank you for this! Harry Reid is rotten to the core. Harry needs to go away- fast. Harry is about to ram through an Omnibus Public Lands Bill that has all kind of buried goodies. Full of quid pro quo wilderness “compromises”. Illustrious Larry Craig as a parting present to rapers of the earth – even gets 3 million dollars of taxpayer funds to study more dams on rivers. This Omnibus Bill means that really bad things get through on the coattails of supposedly “good” things. I kinda wonder if part of Reid’s opposition to Burris had to with theater to appeal to the southern and OK and other Repubs. – one previously had threatened to block this Bill. Parts are opposed by both the ultra-property rights Right and some progressive enviros.
And I hope he takes Pelosi with him when he goes. Two sad examples of “leading” by enabling bush, inc. The sooner they are gone, the better.
