As Allahpundit already noted in an update to his excellent post on John McCains suspension of his campaign, Harry Reid went out of his way to tell him, dont bother. However, as John McCormack notes at the Weekly Standard, thats just a day after Reids insistence that McCain return to support the Bush administrations bailout plan. How soon they forget:
But yesterday, Reid demanded that the White House made sure the legislation had John McCains backing, and Reid floated this bogus piece of news clearly intended to force McCains hand: I got some good news in the last hour or so it appears that Sen. McCain is going to come out for this. McCain flatly denied that he had endorsed the plan.So Harry Reid says that its essential that John McCain backs legislation designed to avert the greatest economic meltdown since the Great Depression. And when McCain says the highly problematic legislation, in its current form, is not good enough, Reid tells McCain to stay away from Capitol Hill. Whos playing politics with economic crisis?
Priceless !!!!
"Yesterday, Harry Reid said that consensus couldn't be achieved without John McCain's leadership. John stepped up and is providing that leadership. Now Senator Reid seems to have changed his mind for reasons we'll let him explain. But what he should understand is that this isn't about Harry Reid or John McCain or Barack Obama. It's about the American people and, in the words of Warren Buffet, the financial Pearl Harbor they're facing. John's committed to doing his part to help avert that calamity. We hope Senator Reid is too."
Reid is, is Reid does.
Brilliant!
It is not just you. They ARE screwing the pooch left and right.

Oh, now the dems are screwing pooches? last time it was WH interns? No matter, they are shameless whatever they do. Real scum.
There are a LOT of Dim Bulbs in that Chandelier they call the Senate, but Harry Reid is the DIMMEST......WHAT is NEVADA thinking??
But most people who only get the news from the MSM will never know that.
I heard that Harry’s sons are quite successful. Must be the training they received from the old man.... /sarc
Why Johnny can’t, Reid.

Didn’t Black Racist Oblack tell them to put partisanship aside?? No leadership ability.

There would be NO reason to work on a bill if the Democrats hadn’t caused this mess.
Demand REPARATIONS from Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats who decided to give cheap mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them.
We should not have to pay for THEIR decision to block reforms of Fannie Mae (which Bush has been asking for since 2001).
The problem with this is only a few months ago Obama claimed the surge would never work. Now he is implying that it not only worked, it worked too well.
Reid is a worthless fool. IF Obama gets in the white house , we would have Reid and Pelosi at his table.
People don’t even begin to know what the future holds if they let that happen.
