Sen. Harry Reid Eviscerates GOP Leaders In New York Times Exit Interview Asked whether any of his Republican counterparts could become president, outgoing Senate majority leader replies, 'Of what?'

By Dylan Stableford

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blasted Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, his soon-to-be successor, and other Republicans, vowing Democrats will wage "a new battle" with the GOP when the Senate reconvenes on Jan. 6.

“Is there enough they can do to help Wall Street? I don’t think so. Big banks? I don’t think so,” Reid told the New York Times in an exit interview published Wednesday. “That’s where the new battle is going to be.”

The 75-year-old Nevada Democrat said Republicans are at odds with Americans when it comes to environmental protection laws.

“They want to eviscerate Clean Air, Clean Water, EPA,” Reid said.

Democrats lost control of the Senate during last month's midterm elections, losing a total of nine seats. Republicans now control both the House and Senate, where they will have a 54-44 majority. (Two members of the Senate are independents.)

Reid told the Times that he is willing to make compromises with Republican lawmakers but not simply to rack up political points.

"I’m happy to work with them,” Reid said of his GOP counterparts. “But I’m not going to throw middle-class America overboard.”

Reid has made enough money on his shady land deals during his time in the Senate that he should resign and enjoy his dotage.

The rantings of a senile old man as he’s shipped off to the “home.”

The same usual nonsense, total and complete lies, projection at its finest. Dingy, you should be ashamed, but traitors and whores, have no shame. This will be your last term and you know that Harry the hateful one. Good bye Harry, take your evil with you you bastard.

Harry, the ‘ of what?’ means you are stupid. The reporter is asking if anyone could be PRESIDENT of the United States, not of Mexico or Cuba or Canada or Zaire.

The fact is that Harry Reid will eventually die and will leave no legacy and no contribution to the future generations of this country. He will be but a stain on a page of history, little remembered and long forgotten.

Hmmm. And how did Reid vote on the bailouts and TARP and the porkulus?

Harry is moving on up to the Mustang Ranch. His prior experience makes him a shoo-in. He should enjoy doing for his new clients what he has done to the rest of the nation.

So I guess he's getting the office in the stairwell of the Hart Senate Office Building that they gave Frank Lautenberg in 2003. Good.

I am of the belief that all of the hatred in the soul of Harry Reid will lead to his demise. He will likely keel over while in the back bench from a massive coronary.
