Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) is reportedly “very uncomfortable” with the idea of newly elected Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass) “sitting amongst us in the Senate.” The reason: in 1982, Brown posed nude for Cosmo magazine.
“The people expect that Senators will exhibit only the highest levels of decorum and integrity,” Reid said. “I’m not sure that Scott Brown lives up to this expectation.”
Reid pointed out that “each chamber of Congress is responsible for deciding whether a person shall be accepted into the body. So, we could vote not to seat Brown if we feel that doing so would diminish the respect voters have for all of us.”
The Majority leader brushed aside criticisms that Congress has accepted tax cheats among its ranks and as appointees to the Executive Branch. “Everybody cheats on their taxes,” Reid argued. “Why should we single out those who get caught and exclude them from government?”
Reid also rejected the late Senator Ted Kennedy’s questionable behavior in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne being used as a standard of reference for how low the body might stoop regarding the quality of its membership, calling such comparisons “unfair and unkind considering the illustrious legislative record Senator Kennedy compiled in the years following that unfortunate tragedy.”
In related news, MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann urged that the special election vote for Brown be overturned due to its implicitly racist overtones. “Here we have America’s first African-American President politely asking Massachusetts voters to send Martha Coakley to the Senate to help him pass healthcare,” Olbermann said. “But exit polls showed that the majority of Massachusetts’ white voters dissed the President’s request. We can’t let white voters in one state impede the policies of a black man elected by a majority of the voters in America.”

Batting 1000....
Does that mean **YOU** cheat on your taxes, Mr. Reid?
By the way, I have **never** cheated on my taxes and I stand among the millions and millions of ordinary Americans who do not.
LOL! After all the crap Ted Kennedy did? LOL!
The demonrats have really lost it.
Harry, your very presence in the Senate has already done that!
Especially when you realize that a disbarred Federal Judge is welcomed to their ‘community’ with open arms....
The minute I read this I thought of that picture of Franken in the diapers and knew it was BS.
Besides ,any Senate that would allow a drunken murderer to not only sit in the Senate , but praise him when he croaks doesn’t have a lot of decorum in my book.
Thank you. If you hadn’t posted that, I would have. :)
But enough about his hemorrhoid...
Cheers!
“But enough about his hemorrhoid...”
He IS a hemmorrhoid...a hemorrhoid scheduled for removal from the rear end of Congress.
Excellent, thanks for the laugh!
And cheers to you, my "Brother From Another Mother".
Noticed the piece on Chavez and the “cavitron.” Didn’t spot any satire. Too whacked-out to mock, eh?
That quote is just waaaay too possible. :)
Using that same reasoning, it is unkind and unfair to condemn Phil Spector for the "unfortunate tragedy" that befell Lana Clarkson, considering his illustrious record as a musician and record producer.
And Stuart Smalley isn’t an embarrassment???
“The people expect that Senators will exhibit only the highest levels of decorum and integrity,” Two words:
Al FRANKEN!
Like posing at the age of 22 has some effect upon Brown now .. how stupidly ignorant .. but that suits Reid perfectly.
Are the dems trying to start a revolution ..?? Are they willing to push us to the boiling point ..??
I’m beginning to wonder if that’s what they’re up to. And .. we know what the end result would be - martial law - and the suspension of ELECTIONS. Is that the goal ..??
So .. what’s it going to be .. LIBERTY or TYRANNY ..??
