"Reid.... You Miserable Bastard, You!"

Because the man, himself, confessed to the town’s main industry transitioning from mining to prostitution at the time of his birth, we’ve always tried to cut him some slack for his behavior and actions rationalizing it as being reared in less than optimal circumstances.

Well, for the first time in recent memory Harry Reid actually made a modicum of sense or at least, we’re hoping, had his heart in the right place when he asked both candidates to stay away from the Capitol while Congressional leaders are trying to hammer-out this bailout bill. In Reid’s words, having both of them there would “risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation’s economy”.

Well… you know, there is something to be said for having both potential leaders of this country there with their sleeves rolled up to try to fix this thing but, yeah… we totally see Harry’s point… putting the good of the nation ahead of partisan politics. Cool.

But then he goes and blows all that short-lived goodwill by injecting politics into this process… Reid, the source says, thinks McCain's maneuver is a gimmick born from bad poll numbers and the fact that "debate prep must not be going very well."

Poor ol' Harry Reid. So close but yet (again) so very far away.
