Reid: Martha Coakley 'more than just my 60th Yes-Man'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 1/15/2010 | Scott Ott

News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher.

With just hours to go before Tuesday's special Senate election in Massachusetts to fill the unexpired term of the late Edward M. Kennedy, Sen. Harry Reid said that Democratic candidate Martha Coakley would be "much more than just my 60th yes-man."

"Sure, she'd be a rookie senator, who's never functioned in a legislature, with no power, eager to please, inheriting the onus of the longest liberal dynasty in history," said Reid, "but that doesn't mean she'd be just a rubber stamp, or some kind of inert mass of protoplasm that responds predictably to the stimuli of her partisan overlords ... no, not at all."

Coakley, the attorney general of the commonwealth, immediately released a statement endorsing Reid's remarks, and noting: "I will not be just a rubber stamp, or some kind of inert mass of protoplasm that responds predictably to the stimuli of my partisan overlords ... no, not at all."

She continued to emphasize her independent-minded agreement with Reid's position on health care reform, and constitutional rights for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as well as other accused terrorists.

Wearing a bracelet sporting the letters 'W.W.H.D.', Coakley said she would be willing to stand up against her own party leaders on matters of principle, "if they ever do anything in the future with which I disagree ... like in 1962, when JFK proposed that awful income tax cut."

In related news, former President Clinton, and future former President Obama, will unite in Boston aboard a campaign bus dubbed "The Party-Line Express" to tour the state and to tell voters that their opinion matters, which is why they should "send Martha Coakley to Washington, D.C., so she can learn what your opinion should be on the great issues facing our once great nation."

I can see Harry Reid liking Coakley. She’s light-skinned, articulate, and years ago, she would have been the one getting the coffee.

I think Harry's been hittin' the sauce early at his fundraiser.

You're going to have to stop posting this stuff.

The current Democrat crowd in Washington is such that people are actually thinking that any kind of absurdity is believable coming from them.

(I clicked don the story thinking he actually said that myself and wanted to read the rest of the story).

"much more than just my 60th yes-man."

Apparently it's been so long since Harry got any that he can no longer tell a man from a woman.

Sen. Harry Reid said that Democratic candidate Martha Coakley would be "much more than just my 60th yes-man."

Is that an actual quote?

Pretty much nails it.
