DC Journal Broder: Harry Reid a 'Bumbling Embarrassment', Begala Cries 'Gasbag' By Jackson Simpson Apr 28, 2007

US Senate leader Harry Reid believes that the Democrats can pick up seats if America loses the war in Iraq. To accent and move forward his point military strategist Harry Reid has offered up a surrender and has proclaimed that the 'war is lost.' Party before country? You decide. Washington Post columnist David Broder seems to believe that Harry is a dim bulb, along with the rest of the country.

Broder: Harry Reid a 'Bumbling Embarrassment', Begala Cries 'Gasbag'

Broder blasted Reid, calling him "bumbling," saying he's an embarrassment, and breaking the news that, "at some point down the road the Democrats are going to have to have a little caucus and decide how much further they want to carry Harry Reid."

***

That brought out Clinton political crony Paul Begala. He writes, "Broder, of course, is a gasbag. The Hindenburg of pundits." He continues, "Perhaps Broder's bed-wetting tantrum against Reid was spurred by the certain knowledge that while Harry Reid has been telling hard truths, Mr. Broder has been falling hard for transparent lies."

He then pimps out Reid as a tough guy. "I doubt very seriously that Harry Reid is bothered by Broder's comments. Reid has faced down Vegas mobsters who planted a bomb in his family car. He's unlikely to be intimidated by George W. Bush's housebroken lap-dog."

***

Libs eating libs, and this is when they have power. In the latest Wall Street Journal poll, only 2% of those polled gave Reid an 'excellent rating. Maybe Paul Begala should stop writing blog posts and get busy voting for "the leading light of Searchlight, Nev."

Harry Reid is in way over his head, and if he has to defend on Begala for a defense, it can only go downhill from here.

Reid and Begala can go straight to hell as far as I’m concerned.

[Paul Begala] writes, "Broder, of course, is a gasbag..."

Take it from an expert.

Paul Begala

What possible justification can any media outlet have for giving a transparent hyper partisan whore like this ANY air time? This is the ONLY "pundit" out there who makes Carvell sound sane by comparison.

Reid and his Dem’s prior to elections never gave us a solution. Dem’s always portrayed disasters.
Now Harry Reid releases another solution informing us about consequences.
Harry Reid... America will be a loser again according to your analysis.
Harry Reid, with your solution of running away you also are obligated to tell us who the winners will be.

Begala may be totally correct. After all, he is an expert at recognizing “gasbags”, having faithfully served as one’s major bootlicker for several years.

I like this:

Clinton political crony Paul Begala. He writes, “Broder, of course, is a gasbag. The Hindenburg of pundits.” He continues, “Perhaps Broder’s bed-wetting tantrum against Reid was spurred by the certain knowledge that while Harry Reid has been telling hard truths, Mr. Broder has been falling hard for transparent lies.”

Begala is nothing more than dross.

Reid has gone face down on Vegas mobsters.

I could believe that.

If I have to choose the more credible of the two between David Broder and the Forehead (and believe me, I shudder at the thought that I might have to)...I’ve got to go with Broder.

Bagala knows Broder is a Liberal, but with typical contempt for the public, he assumes his attack on Broder will discredit him and the merits of what he has written about Reid. Reid is carrying Iran’s and al Qaeda’s water in Iraq. He’s taken their side and is using his position to provide not only the Democrat’s defeatist propaganda, but to assure them a victory he wants to cut off aid to our army in the field facing this enemy. NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON.

One of Clinton’s key defenders and manipulators of the media in the Lewinsky scandal, Begala, should have no credibility to any but the kool aide guzzlers.

Reid is worse then an idiot, he’s a traitor. And all to try to score cheap political points. I pray Americans will remember that power and politics is far more import to the democrats like Reid and Pelosi, then the welfare of our troops who are in harms way.

I’v never heard Begala question any position or statement made by any Dem ever. This clown is the biggest lapdog/stooge ever. Worse than Carville.

Poor Harry, he gets so annoyed and scared when his diapher is soiled. I think he thinks people will see it leaking of smell the mess he made in it.

Begala’s rise to insignificance came when his partner, James Carville, arose from his fetal position in his Capitol Hill basement apartment to take on the political campaign of long shot Pennsylvania Democrat Paul Wolford. Wolford ran on, and was elected on the issue of “Health Care” and it soon became the “issue” of the democrats.

Carville and Begala were hired by the Clinton’s because the only democratic election that resulted in victory in that cycle was Wolfords.

Bill Clinton did not need those clowns to get elected. Hillary didn’t need to make Health Care her touch stone. That she did, and failed, can be attributed to the advice of Begala and Carville.

That didn’t prevent those two-bit hustlers from conning a willing media into thinking they were political geniuses. It took the marriage of a republican notable to Carville to properly name him. Serpenthead was just right, so now babbling Begala may finally see his demise. He was last seen on the Don Imus show giving him advice on how to handle his woes.

The Robert De Niro movie “Casino” told the true story of mob control of Las Vegas. All major characters in the film were representations of actual persons involved in the real portrayed events. De Niro’s character actually was Frank Rosenthal, Joe Pesci’s character was actually Tony Spilotro, and Alan King’s character was Teamster Pension Fund official Alan Dorfman.

The mob-owned official played played by Dick Smothers called “Senator” was Harry Reid. The scene in which Sam Rothstein is denied a license by the Nevada Gaming Commission is based on a December 1978 hearing when Harry Reid was the commission’s chairman; some of Reid’s statements are used in Smothers’ dialogue.

A number of people of this era found bombs in their car, bullets in their back, and ice picks in their brain. They weren’t all crime fighters.
