James Taranto approaches H. L. Mencken in his insight and his ability to articulate that insight in a way that lets you know exactly what he is thinking.

How did such an unappealing man who says so many foolish things get so far in politics?

That really is a mystery. I don't know much about Nevada, but their regular reelection of this creature makes me question the whole state's sanity.

Reid was a Capitol Hill cop and later a Nevada State gambling commissioner.

For reasons beyond my understanding, the citizens of Nevada saw fit to have him represent them in the US Senate.

Where’s Paul Laxalt when you need him?

The miracle of Harry Reid’s political success is no more surprising than the miracle of Obama’s success.

A man who doesnt know Slime from Shinola elected to the Presidency and allowed, no not allowed, but encouraged by Democrats to turn this into a Socialist country.

Sen. Harry Reid: “an inspiration to dour, foolish men everywhere.”

That is a true, clever, and very funny statement.

Semper Fi,

Reid, angry ol white man in control.... what do you think sonia? In the dictionary under HYPOCRITE they can’t fit all thier pictures so the wrote “see Congress and the Senate”
Would like to see Reids American History grades in high school, was he the poster boy of government education? This could explain his absence of knowledge on the subject of American History.

Because many voters are simply ignorant and uninformed. Many vote for a candidate whose name they recognize despite knowing absolutely nothing about their politics, ideology and voting record.

Hopefully with many more people paying attention, 2010 will be the Waterloo for losers like Reid, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Waxman, Waters, Conyers, Rangel, Specter [insert your faorite here]

I don’t know the answer to that question, but maybe what I know will help.

All the union stewards I’ve seen have had that splenetic look on their faces. Unions are Communist fronts.

Lenin said that Communists must hate - that is one of the requirements.

Does this help?

I suspect the Fascists had polling showing that their health plan was losing support in the black community, and, Harry got his orders to raise the race card to get the black folk back on the bus. Poor Dingy, as usual, did it badly.
