JIM LEHRER: Do you think that is in the wind, based on what Speaker Hastert and other Republicans have said - Sen. McCain, Sen. Santorum and others?

SEN. HARRY REID: Having Sen. Santorum talk about reform is like having John Gotti talk about doing something about organized crime. He’s one of the problems. So –

Full transcript follows.

JIM LEHRER: What I’m getting at, I think, Senator, is it’s a little bit of an “oh, I’m so shocked” element to this that a lot of people are having trouble understanding because this kind of practice of lobbyists trying to influence legislation is part and parcel of the system.

SEN. HARRY REID: Jim, your question is very valid, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to the answer sooner. Here’s the situation we have though. We are in the minority. There’s an arrogance of power here in Washington that is untoward. Republican White House, Republican House, Republican Senate. Seven of the nine members of the Supreme Court have been appointed by Republican presidents.

You know, you can’t get things done unless there’s a bipartisan movement, and I would hope that with this scandal, this Republican-driven scandal, we’ll get a few Republicans of goodwill to step forward and say we should have done this a long time ago, but we didn’t; let’s do it now. And that’s what I hope happens.

JIM LEHRER: Do you think that is in the wind, based on what Speaker Hastert and other Republicans have said - Sen. McCain, Sen. Santorum and others?

SEN. HARRY REID: Having Sen. Santorum talk about reform is like having John Gotti talk about doing something about organized crime. He’s one of the problems. So –

JIM LEHRER: Why is he one of the problems?

SEN. HARRY REID: Because he was the liaison to K Street, he has gone down to the meetings, they meet every Wednesday in Grover Norquist’s office.

Obviosuly,t he Dem platform for 2006 will be that lobbyists are a greater danger to Americans than terrorists..Do you think that the Dems would let the NSA electronically eavsedrop on K-street?

[Peach]

Who was the last Republican to pull out a sub machine gun and kill people? I seem to have forgotten.

[Mo1]

Is Rick Santorum of Italian heritage??

Because it seems Reid and the DNC thinks anyone who is, is like the mob

Didn't they try doing something similar to this with Alito?

[Peach]

Definite mispronounciations of Alito's name to make him sound more Italian.

[Rummyfan]

Reid is so effing pathetic words fail me...... The only solace I take from this is the caption 'Minority Leader'. Bet he loses that position next November too.

[dinasour]

Yeah Harry, and being lectured by a Democrat on ethics is like being lectured on dating etiquette by Ted Bundy.

[Txsleuth]

If you really think about what Reid and Hillary and Pelosi and all the dems are saying, is...

"We are in the minority. ...Republican White HOuse, Republican Senate, Republican House, 7 of 9 Supreme Court Justices have been appointed by Republican Presidents.."

They call the above the "arrogance of POWER"..and the consequence is the "culture of corruption"...

What they are wanting is some kind of "RULE" that Americans CANNOT vote for the Republicans in such number as to make this happen...having both sides of Congress Republican, as well as the POTUS....

WE have GOT to fight back by pointing out that they are just babies whining because they lose elections...and they lose elections because the whine like babies.

And having been MGM Grand's Senator for several years now, Harry Reid may have done business with John Gotti and know about this first hand.

[prairiebreeze]

US RAT Senators turning on fellow (but opposite aisle) Senators. Su-prize, su-prize.

And Reid and his RAT cohorts wouldn't recognize a particle of honor, integrity or decency if it slapped them upside their pointed little heads.

Holy MOLY. What a STUPID thing to say!

I know that liberalism is a mental disease, but does it also lower the IQ this much??

[ohioWfan]

LOL! I think Bill Frist regularly uses brass knuckles, Peach.

And then fits his victim with cement boots and drops 'em in the East River.....

[SeaBiscuit]

The absurd, snotty, petty and juvenile language of the rats bumpola..

[Mo1]

I know that liberalism is a mental disease, but does it also lower the IQ this much??

Hang onto your hat .. it's gonna get even lower

Reid and his gang are just gearing up

[Peach]

I'd forgotten about those cement boots that Frist uses, Ohio. LOL. Comparing Republicans to the mafia -- I've chuckled over that all day.

[DoNotDivide]

It's time for Harry Reid to resign as Minority Leader.

[mware]

First they attempt to block Aliton now this.

Oh that will go over great at the Knights of Columbus hall.

[jw777]

Harry Reid. Arrogance of NON power.
