Why I love Harry Reid

Jump to Comments

When Harry Reid got selected as Democratic Leader, I kept reading the Washington Pundits go on about how dry and colorless he is. This from people who think that Tucker Carlson is vibrant.

I never quite got this. He has a led a fascinating life. The guy was raised by a mother who washed clothes for prostitutes, was played by Tom Smothers in the movie Casino, and at one point got into a fight with LaToya Jackson’s ex. Geez, I could never had said any of those things about Dennis DeConcini.

Anyhow, check out the interview with him in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Money quote:

Eric Bates: You’ve called Bush a loser.
Senator Reid: And a liar.
Bates: You apologized for the loser comment.
Reid: But never for the liar, have I?

And to think there were people in the party that thought he didn’t have any fight in him.
