The Editors would like to extend our condolences to Senator Harry Reid and his family as they go through this difficult time. While we can only guess at the exact nature of the psychiatric or neurological trauma the Senate majority leader has suffered, we assume that it is severe, judging by his symptoms, the most prominent of which is his new habit of taking to the Senate floor to deliver speeches that sound like they ought to be coming from a man wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland.
The Washington Post, which once had the fine discretion to overlook the embarrassing personal defects of Democrats within its good graces, recently awarded the poor man the dreaded “three Pinocchios” from its fact-checkers, who noted that the senator’s latest claims about the proprietors of Koch Industries, about whom Senator Reid obsesses the way Rosie O’Donnell obsesses about metallurgy, were largely disconnected from reality. Senator Reid, citing a recent White House report, claimed that Koch Industries was one of the main causes of global warming and that it was responsible for more greenhouse-gas emissions than Dow Chemical, Exxon, and General Electric combined. The report said no such thing and identified Exxon as a much, much larger emitter than Koch, which is no surprise, given that Koch is not in the oil-drilling business but in the refining and derivatives business. General Electric does not appear in the report at all. We deplore the Washington Post’s cheap exploitation of the troubles of an obviously confused man to sell newspapers.

My favorite line:
“We pray that Senator Reid has not slipped into some sort of sudden-onset dementia; given our knowledge of the man, our money is on his having been kicked in the head by some kind of livestock, and the good news is that they’re doing wonderful things for rehabilitation from blunt-force trauma to the head these days.”
Hilarious line!
The real story here isnt Harry’s lunacy...its the electorate that continues voting for him. Who’s more lunatic Harry or the voters? I think that later....
Harry will claim he was kicked in the head by the Koch Brothers.
That is priceless!
Ping me when this reads....
"The Editors would like to extend our condolences to the family of Senator Harry Reid as they go through this difficult time".
Yeah, buddy.
I too was getting a visual here..... Dingy Harry wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland. bwaaa.
Why oh WHY won’t the GOP get up on the senate floor and just belly laugh out loud after quoting Dingy Harry?
Humor is the best to play at the same game!!!
bttt
lmao... but it sounds more like Boehner than Reid. Reid is shifty, sleazy, and knows no limits, while Boehner is a slobbering crybaby.
I assume the line about getting kicked on the head by livestock was a possible swipe at donkeys... or one of Bundy’s cows...
Seriously, didn’t Dingy Harry do Boxing at an earlier time? The bit about Traumatic Brain Injury might not be far off...
The first paragraph is LOL funny and right on the point of Harry’s demented noggin’.
Doesn't he get elected TWICE?
Once by Nevada voters; and then by DEMOCRATIC senators to lead them?
speeches that sound like they ought to be coming from a man wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland.
A well drawn word picture...
Which is why I hope Obama’s crappy economy kills the casino business in Vegas. They all deserve to lose their jobs.
