"Senator Reid has compiled quite a catalog of mean and irrational statements about various people," Mr. Thompson said.

I have noted that ever since Reid took Tom Daschle's place, he has promised (and delivered) all the obstructionism of Daschle, twice the hatred, and half the intelligence. For examples of name calling, he called President Bush a "loser," Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "embarrassment," and said that UN Ambassador John Bolton is "abominable, mean, unreasonable and bizarre." My only surprise is that after all that, I expected him to call Chief Justice Roberts a "poo-poo head."

Being majority leader in the Senate can he not be called out for making remarks against someone who holds a leadership position in another branch of government.

Surely there is some form of censure that it applicable or is this a case where freedom of speech means he can anything he likes about a fellow public servant.
