Harry Reid compares GOP to ‘greased pigs’

Majority Leader Harry Reid compared his Republican colleagues to “greased pigs” on Tuesday as the Senate erupted in frustration over lack of progress on an energy bill and the Keystone XL pipeline.

“For all those who don’t know what a greased pig contest is, here’s what it is: The organizers get a little pig, piglet, and they cover this little animal with tons of grease. It’s a greasy little pig,” Reid said. “The reason I mention this: Oftentimes working with my Senate Republican colleagues reminds me of chasing one of these little pigs in a greased pig contest. Regardless of all of our efforts, any time we get close to making progress, it seems as though we watch it slip out of our hands.”

The Democratic leader’s remarks follow comments he made Monday in which he said the GOP was playing a “shell game” as the prospects darken for a binding vote to approve the Keystone pipeline or a modest, bipartisan energy efficiency bill.

“progress”?!?!?!?

Did he just utter the word “progress”?!?!?!

He supports the Climate Change witchcraft/astrology science(?) and he wants us all to live in caves so that we do no damage to the planet-—although him and his friends can fly around in jets.

Well, Harry has been in charge for quite some time and has nothing but a desperate Country to show for it.

Harry, you and your colleagues are ruining America. Face it jerk.

What's with Reid's continuous name calling? Usually when someone does this it's a sign of inadequacy. That being the case I think he knows he has some missing screws in his little pea brain.

"Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers... "

Is there anyway to remove a sitting senator from office when it has become clear that he’s lost his mind! I’m starting to think Harry’s picnic basket is empty. Is his staff propping him up like Bernie Lomax so they can keep their jobs, plopping down talking points in from of him like he’s a parrot.

The child-molesting rustler didn’t take his meds again.

Further proof that, given the chance, these “friends across the aisle” would kill the men, rape the women and sell the children into slavery if they could.

Harry; you've mis-read too many things on FR.

The Flying Inmen are DIRTY pigs; not greased ones.

They merely need hosed down - NOT a thorough scrubbing.

Animals are more noble than Democrats selling out their country to lies.

But some ARE more equal than others...
