Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) today said he was guaranteed seniority on committees by Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) in the final negotiations before his party switch last week, talks that, according to Specter, also included a pledge that he would become the next chairman of the Judiciary Committee in several years.
Specter stood by his version of the one-on-one talks with Reid, despite the Senate leader's contradictory statements on the matter and the resolution that passed last night placing Specter in the most junior slot on most committees on which he serves.
"When I talked to Senator Reid he assured me that my seniority would be as if I came in (as a Democrat) in 1980, and I relied . . . on his representation, and that's the long and short of it," Specter said in an interview in his Capitol "hideaway" office.

SUCKER!
I wonder if Chamberlain felt the same way when Hitler seized the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939.
Hahahahahaha
I will be backin a few more posts to add another Ha.
He has earned this.
ROFLMAO
Who to believe...Specter or Reid...now that’s really a hard one because both have no regard for the truth.
Otter said it best to Flounder: “You foxtrotted up, you trusted us.”
Wow, instant karma.
Maybe he’ll finally be convinced of the fool he is, just like the rest of us always knew him to be.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
huh. huh, huh, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Benedict Arlen!!! Hah Hah!
Spectacle put himself above country, party and principle.
Its all about preserving him preserving his ‘royalty’ status! He got exposed for all to see——traitors don’t have an honorable and graceful ending! He needs to retire and enjoy whatever time he has left!
Are you sayin’ that Democrats lie? “I did not know that” as the late Johnny Carson would say.
LOL.
Arlen, you sleep with notorious lying degenerate $20 hookers, you get ripped off and you end up with nothing but herpes, chlamydia, or worse.
However, I'm a man of my words Arlen... when I tell you that I'm gonna give you the back of my hand... you will know it...
Sorry, Specter, you’re just the 59th notch on the headboard for Reid. He won’t send you flowers or even call you in the morning.
I believe Reid intended to deliver on his promise but that the rank-and-file Dems just told both Reid and Specter NO WAY.
Who can blame them? Specter has no loyalty to anyone or anything but Specter. He’d desert them in a flash for whatever-else if he thought it would benefit them.
They don’t lie. They just omit “certain truths.” /sarc
