I posted this on another thread today:

"...after the effort to renew the law was filibustered last week, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid exulted, "We killed the Patriot Act.""

Today on the floor of the Senate, Reid tried to place the blame for "killing" the Patriot Act on President Bush.

Senator Gregg from NH stood up and quoted Reid's words back to him, telling him that he sort of sounded like a guy in NH who killed his parents and then asked for mercy because he was an orphan. Gregg asked Reid, "Senator, are you an orphan?"

Reid danced around a bit, and then Senator Kyl got up and also read Reid's words back to him and asked him point blank which was true, did Reid kill the act or did Bush by not compromising?

Reid, obviously nailed, went into a long babbling tirade about maybe no getting such a good education in Searchlight, not being lucky enough to go to private schools like some in the Senate, blah blah blah. Reid then said if Bush didn't agree to a 3 month extension, Bush would kill the Patriot Act, to which Kyl responded, "Well, how about a year long extension."

It was unreal to watch.

Harry Reid gives new meaning to the term "Hypocrite."

He did the same business on the talk shows yesterday, carping at the administration's conduct of the Iraq war then when asked point blank what his alternative strategy or "plan" would be, had no answer.

Also priceless when Chris Wallace nailed him about the Abramoff contributions...

Reid may be in a lot of trouble real soon.

If this is true I'm impressed.

My cSpan had something else on.... what happened after that exchange, I never heard?

BTW, I received an email from Wilderness Society today asking everyone to call Senator McCain to get him to twist arms on the defense spending bill and kill ANWR... so, it's official, McCain is definitely the darling of the far left loons.

I think that Reid may be being investigated and I surely hope so.

Anyone have video, or a link to the video?????
I will be one of the happiest ones on here from NV if he gets the boot.

I LOVE Sen. Kyl -- he's our OTHER senator. Yes, Arizona has TWO, although you wouldn't know it because McLame is always hogging the limelight.
