Harry Reid: Genius or Moron?
National Ledger ^ | Nov 2, 2005 | CK Rairden

Senate minority leader's stunt yesterday to shut down the Senate by invoking Rule 21 and placing the Senate into closed session to discuss the intelligence that led to war means that the Nevada democrat is one of two things: A genius or a moron.

The plan was reportedly hatched on Halloween along with his partners Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).

That's going to make him a moron in many eyes. His talking points were then e-mailed:

* Most important decision a President makes is to put American lives at risk and go to war.

* Many of us supported the decision to invade Iraq based on the national intelligence presented at the time.

* Over the past few months, and vividly last Friday, we’ve learned that we were given bad information. Americans were intentionally deceived.

* White House indictments confirm Republicans tried to silence critics and cover up the real intelligence.

* America deserves answers. National security is at stake.

* If mistakes were made, we need to know. Otherwise, we are doomed to repeat them.

* Republicans committed to investigate how national intelligence was used to set the stage for war.

* Now, they are refusing to keep that commitment. What are they afraid of America learning?

* Republicans must come clean. It is our shared responsibility to be straight with the American people.

* Stakes could not be higher. That is why we are demanding answers through an unprecedented closed Senate session.

* We will not let up until America gets answers.

* Together, America Can Do Better"

That last line sounded a lot like Bill Clinton, But without that quivering lip - it may even be tough to score points there. ...

" Republicans must come clean."

Reid always looks like an unhinged grandma.
Apparently, he's now auditioning for a soap commercial.
Or the role of Norman and Mother Bates in the DC revival of Psycho.

he is cagey enough to know that the Old Media will carry his water in this

Maybe the Old Media are, but the Somewhat Newer Media are not. Rush is giving an excellent in-depth analysis of this really boring episode of Congressional level psychological denial.

Genius or moron?

Neither.

Reid is generally smarter than most people, just not as smart as he thinks he is. Due to his arrogance, he also underestimates the GOP. These are common afflictions of Dems

Why would anyone think a little court jester would suddenly transform into a genius?

He's the same shameless, double-standard-bearer moron he's always been.
