Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) described the argument by Sarah Palin and other conservatives that Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s backup debt plan is unconstitutional as "a bunch of garbage."
“I’ve been to a few court houses,” Reid said at a news conference on Thursday. Those in the tea party “seem to think they have an all knowing wisdom about the Constitution. In short, that’s a bunch of garbage. I don’t know how to say it more clearer than that.”

"I don’t know how to say it more clearer than that." Yes you do, Reid. Just be honest and say it.
"I don't care if it's unconstitutional. We will do what we damn well please. So, shut the hell up."
That is clearly what you mean.

Hopefully those in the tea party will help to make Reid the ex-Senate majority leader this next go around.

I hereby make a $50 pledge to anyone, including a Right-wing ham sandwich, who will run against McConnell in the primary.
Anyone with me?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) described the argument by Sarah Palin and other conservatives that Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s backup debt plan is unconstitutional as "a bunch of garbage." The only bunch of garbage is how Reid was re-elected; it stinks to high heaven.

“I’ve been to a few court houses,” Reid said He's been in a few whorehouses, too. So what?

Like most political lawyers, Hairy probably couldn’t find the clerk’s office in the county courthouse where he resides without directions.

backup debt plan is unconstitutional as "a bunch of garbage." I see. "A bunch of garbage" is probably the kind of technical term we plebes are too stupid to understand. I think I have something of a clue about what he means.

I've seen the inside of a few court houses . . . What blather.
John Edwards has seen the inside of a few court houses too. How's that working now?

Thgis demented LIB (reid) is an embarrassment. Shouldn’t he be committed or something with his especially low cognitive functioning? Isn’t his family tired of his drooling and drivel?

Those in the tea party[,says Reid,] “seem to think they have an all knowing wisdom about the Constitution. In short, that’s a bunch of garbage. I don’t know how to say it more clearer than that.” Of course, by Dingy Harry's reading of the Constitution, a Democrat Congress can do anything damn thing it wants to.
