REID ON REPUBLICANS….Via the Carpetbagger, U.S. News & World Report’s “Washington Whispers” column rounds up the latest remarks from Harry Reid about his Republican counterparts:
Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, makes no bones about disliking most of his GOP colleagues. “Republicans in the Senate,” he says, “do not represent mainstream Republicans in this country. Mainstream Republicans in this country are more moderate and more thoughtful than the people I work with who are in the majority in the Senate.” Ouch. Well, of the 55 GOP-ers, he’s gotta like a few, right? “Someone asked me the other day,” he says, “‘Who are the moderate Republicans?’ Hmm. Well, you’ve got Lincoln Chafee [of Rhode Island], sometimes the two senators from Maine [Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins], and Arlen Specter [of Pennsylvania] whenever you don’t need him. That’s it.” Double ouch.
He sounds kind of like FDR when he talks like that, doesn’t he? More, please.
