I'm not sure, but Harry Reid is really pissed about this. I heard him on TV and he is bent out of shape because many Dems. walked away from his scrawny *ss on this matter.

Now was that before or after he voted for him? It's so hard to keep all of this straight in my mind.

You don't have a need to know.

How can one tell if Reid is truly pissed? He always looks pissed!

Robert Bluey: How bloggers took on Harry Reid and won on earmark reform
~snip~
In the meantime, bloggers sent e-mails to Jon Henke, the newly hired new-media director for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Its Henkes job to deal with bloggers, and if there was ever an occasion, this was it. Despite McConnells support for DeMints amendment, an Associated Press story reported otherwise, and Reid implied as much on the Senate floor.
McConnells staff got the message. Thursday evening, Henke e-mailed bloggers, Sen. McConnell is supporting Sen. DeMint and doing everything we can to make sure that the Democrats dont destroy earmark reform. By the next day, Henke was keeping bloggers appraised of the latest developments.

More amazing was Democrats' new enthusiasm for oversight. Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin -- who started off trying to tank Mr. DeMint's reform -- finished by passing an amendment (also 98-0) that requires lawmakers to post their earmark requests on the Internet 48 hours before a vote. (The House version of the bill simply requires a public disclosure form.)
I found this on WSJ.com, Durbin's admendment requires earmark requests to be posted on the Internet. It's a good thing.

DeMint makes Harry Reid want to go back to boxing. Harry Reid was once a boxer? Have always wondered why he looked punch drunk all the time.
