DEMONIZING HARRY….Remember Tom Daschle? Mild mannered senator from South Dakota. Had the misfortune of being Senate Minority Leader when George Bush took office. By all accounts, about as good a guy as you could hope to meet.
I still remember the day several years ago when I turned on the radio and heard Rush Limbaugh lay into him for an entire hour. “El Diablo” he called him. The most liberal, conniving, liberal, obstructionist, liberal, backstabbing, revoltingly nasty thug ever to hold a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Wow, I thought. (This was pre-blogging, so I only thought it.) This is what they’re saying about Tom Daschle? Who’s next? Mother Teresa?
Of course not. Mild mannered, gentlemanly Harry Reid is next up for the treatment. At least this time it doesn’t come as a surprise.
