Obit Watch: Harry Reid

“Leaving a trail of slime behind him-”

Start over.

“A repugnant, repulsive reptile-”

Try again.

“What can be said about him that hasn’t already been said about bubonic plague?”

Strike that.

Man, I’m really having trouble staying on the high road for this Harry Reid obit.

It’s pretty much the job of the Senate Majority Leader to be the Bad Cop and hated by the opposition, but there was just something repugnant and unpleasant about late Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who just died at age 82. Certainly Chuck Schumer is no improvement, but still…

Democrats probably love him for ramming through ObamaCare and the initial 2009 Porkulus. Reid (like all Democrats) supported lots of horrible legislation (remember SOPA/PIPA, possibly the first and last time the Internet as a whole rose up to slap down bad legislation?), but that’s not it. Nor is it his hatred of the Tea Party or gun owners. Or his proud manifest lies about Mitt Romney’s tax return. Or even his reported Mafia ties.

I don’t hate the man, but I read his obituary with great satisfaction.

How such a despicable wicked black speck could cause so much damage to his country and people in a mere 82 years...

Reid went nuclear to eliminate the filibuster on judicial appointments, and got three Republican Supreme Court justices for his trouble.

That’s his most enduring legacy.

We do have to thank him for that.

An outlier amongst leftys with Platinum healthcare.
Done at 82.

Love that the mob roughed him up at the end. Sent a message to the rest of Congress, we own you.

Now he is finding out that every dollar he earned through corruption was completely worthless.

And the idiot “Republican” Governor of Utah ordered flags flown at half staff for the pond scum.

More on Reid here:

Eric Holder and Democrats Misunderstand Harry Reid

Some sort of “toughness” did not make Reid effective; having 60 senators did. And there are reasons that occurred. Of course, today’s radical, tone-deaf Democrats won’t understand this, so they lash out instead.

With help from Barack Obama’s coattails in 2008, Democrat Senate candidates did well, even winning in conservative places Obama lost, like Arkansas, Louisiana, and South Dakota.

A few months later, Al Franken finished off stealing Minnesota’s U.S. Senate election, giving Democrats 60 senators, a majority so large that even after the 2010 Republican midterm wave, Reid remained majority leader.

Nevada klepto-crat who never gave a damn about anything but enriching himself and empowering his party.

Fly flags at half-mast for him? F*** no! Where is he being interred? I want to leave a liquid memento for him.

Think there’s a chance we can finally find out who beat him up?

I’m not doing cartwheels over the McConnell approved SCOTUS judges but they are better than Garland or anyone else the Dems can put up there.

An outlier amongst leftys with Platinum healthcare. Done at 82.

An extreme outlier among elite Mormons as well. Those guys live as long as Jewish comedians.

What can be said about him that hasn’t already been said about bubonic plague?” “He’s dead Jim”.

The grass over his grave site will always be green - BS is a great fertilizer.

Lord, I hope his corpse isn't going on some kind of John McCain world tour.

While Harry Reid was a despicable and corrupt politician, I would venture to say Pelosi and Schumer might eclipse him
