Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed Made a Funny!
I have been rather disapointed in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed as of late, but I liked what he had to say yesterday:
Asked today for the umpteenth time on the drawn out race for the Democratic presidential nomination and if the sniping between Democratic rivals Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will fracture the Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid strayed from his rote answer that competition is good for the party.
"Makes me bitter," he said instead, referencing 'bitter'-gate and making light of the recent rhetorical controversy surrounding Sen. Barack Obama's characterization of how small-town Pennsylvanians react to the poor economy.
"This is all going to be over fairly soon," he said, returning to his normal answer. "I think it's been healthy for our country, healthy for our party."
Reid also said a bonus of the drawn-out contest and grassroots fundraising for the Democratic candidates has instituted defacto campaign finance reform without a law.
"We have had a change in the campaign financing of this country, not because of our passing a law, but because of great candidates stimulating the interest of the American people, and that's why they've -- over the Internet and other ways, small checks, checks averaging less than $100 a person -- have poured money into Clinton- Obama campaigns," Reid said. "I think that's good."
This is a sentiment the Obama campaign has pushed as the Illinois Senator has looked for a way to utilize his record-breaking fundraising despite an earlier pledge that he would use public financing. ABC News

Comic Relief 36! (is that even still around?) Starring George Carlin! Janeane Garofalo! Larry the Cable Guy! Harry Reid!
I am bitter too. I became bitter around the time of Reagan's presidency. All that deregulation, ass-kissing-of-the-corporations, and hating-on-the-poor got me down I must admit. However, I did have a brief period of happiness during the 90s only to have that snatched away in an election theft in 2000. Oh well, what cha gonna do? Revolution anyone?
Randal Graves: The way Harry Reid has carrying on lately is unfrotunately not so comedic. (Did you say Janeane Garofalo? Yummy!)
Liberality: I'm with you! Viva la Revolution! We can start by beheading all of the members of the Mainstream Media.
