That was the one? That's barely a friendly question at all! I would have used words like "duplicitous scumbags" and "loathsome hypocrites" and "oxygen thieves". THAT would be a friendly question. "How are you going to get along with people who hate you?" may not be a substantive question, but it isn't exactly "Do you think your plan is the best proposal out there or the best proposal in the history of the human race?"

I know the history of the "soup lines" remark -- Reid never used those words, Limbaugh did, though Gannon is clearly not attempting to quote Reid either.

I doubt Reid or HRC called Social Security "rock-solid", too, but I did hear Reid describe it as in good shape and that President Bush was making up a crisis where there wasn't one, so the characterization is apt.

As I say, this is not about the question, it's about Wilson/Plame. Mark my words and it's sad to see some follow the red herrings.
