Hillary Clinton is the JUNIOR Senator from NY. Chuck Schumer will definitely have something to say abour her leap-frogging him to grab power.

So old NPR-face has an opinion.

If it’s written by Ratner, a barf alert is a necessity.

Yeah, the girls are crazy about him.

“keep in mind also that a senator coming back that’s running for president is not very unique around here. John Kerry ran, he’s back; Chris Dodd ran and he’s back; Joe Biden ran, he’s back”

That would be because it is very uncommon for a Congressman to be elected to the White House.

And currently Congress has even lower popularity ratings than President Bush. Of course, one Senator WILL be our next president as the THREE remaining figures ALL come from the low rated Congress.

Brent Bozell, October 2006 "Associated Press reporters John Solomon and Kathleen Hennessy reported that Reid scored a windfall of $700,000, turning a $400,000 real-estate investment in Las Vegas in 1998 to a $1.1 million land deal in 2004 -- even though he apparently had sold the property to a casino lobbyist buddy in 2001. He did not report the facts on his Senate financial disclosure forms -- while he served on the Senate Ethics Committee.

When the AP called Reid for comment, he hung up on them. You would think that an aggressive, fair and balanced media would have been incensed and activated. But we don't have a fair and balanced national media.

It should be said that major newspaper editorial pages were not impressed with Reid's defense. The Washington Post suggested that "Mr. Reid's professions of transparency and full disclosure are transparently wrong."

But the network distaste for saying anything critical of the Democratic leader was obvious. ABC aired nothing. CBS aired nothing. NBC's Chip Reid offered a few words on "Nightly News" -- after the latest full story on "Foley fallout." There was no "Harry fallout."
