A month into the new Congress, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may still be getting used to life in the majority.

Upon welcoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) back on the Senate floor after a January exercising accident, McConnell reverted to an old habit of referring to his Democratic counterpart as the "majority leader."

"Let me say first, I want to welcome back our colleague, the majority leader. He's had a challenging month, and we're happy to see him back here in the Senate and wish him well in his recovery, which looks as if it's coming along nicely," a smiling McConnell said as he gestured toward Reid.

Accidentally . . . ?

Like how the new head of the VA “misstated” his nonexistent Special Forces tenure?

Not going to waste time on this government anymore, nothing ever changes.

I don’t want to hear ANY ‘republican’ senators complaining about b1itch mc connel, THEY VOTED HIM IN AS LEADER and they KNOW he is a WORTHLESS RINO.

What does voting for him say about their TRUE LOYALTIES?

Getting mad at little b1tch mc connel for caving in is liking getting mad at a 3 week old puppy for peeing on the floor, it’s what they do.

I see nothing has changed from the Republican takeover in the mid ‘90s when the GOPe types kept calling the RATS their old titles and always deferred to them in hearings.
