Harry Reid Has a Different Pet Already

By Doug Powers  •  September 21, 2010 11:23 AM

**Written by Doug Powers

A while back, Harry Reid referred to Chris Coons as “my pet,” but since then Harry seems to want to do his petting elsewhere:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had an unusual form of praise for New York’s junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, this morning at the fundraiser Mayor Bloomberg hosted for him at his townhouse – referring to her as “the hottest member” as she sat just a few feet away, according to three sources.

The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red, according to the sources, and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there.

“It was pretty shocking when he said it,” said one source familiar with the remark and the reaction.

A Reid spokesman confirmed it happened, but also noted that the Democratic Majority Leader also praised Gillibrand for her work.
[...]
Then he turned his attention to Gillibrand, saying something about how “many senators are known for many things,” according to a source. He added, “We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member.”

Sorry, Scott Brown.

Reid then tried to kick-save his own patronizing chauvinistic sexual slapshot by changing the subject to Gillibrand’s deep knowledge of securities law, and pointing out that she has a firm but gentle grip on policy, as well as a perky, pert set of political principles that makes this Majority Leader wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk! (I don’t think Harry said that last part out loud though)

Somebody needs to dump some saltpeter in the public trough.

    Wow…add this to the list of things that Dingy Harry has said.

    I think we need a top 10 list started

    Gillibrand is the hotest senator
    Coons is his pet
    Obama is light skinned and clean

    That is just the three I can think of off the top of my head.

    Thank you for your amusing output. Now run on back and tell the Kos Kids how clever you are.

    btw, I like the idea of real conservatives being quick to engage their enemies in court. Too many conservatives do not understand you can win every single political battle only to quietly lose the war anyway, defeated by a lawyer dressed in a robe.

    Gloria Steinem and every liberal “reporter-ette” in the nation would have gone into conniption overload had a Republican as much as insinuated anything even approaching this level of sexism, demanding full-on groveling and apologies all around from the offending speaker, if not his immediate resignation.

    N.O.W. and Steinem’s silence on Reid’s “hottest member” comment reveals them for what they really are – hypocrites and partisan hacks.

    Fiorina is not a self-confessed Marxist. Coons, however, is. I’d vote for Fiorina, but I also agree with Phil’s comment to max.

    Anyone who votes for Coons is either a) uninformed, b) stupid, or c) a Marxist sympathizer.

    DINGO: Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot! Oh, she is a naughty person, and she must pay the penalty — and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon. You must tie her down on a bed and spank her!

    GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!

    DINGO: You must spank her well. And after you have spanked her, you may deal with her as you like. And then, spank me.

    “We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member.”

    It’s a good thing for Harry that Senators always exempt themselves from the sexual harrassment laws they pass.

    But we shouldn’t assume what Harry means by “hottest member”. The last time he talked about hot people, he was complaining about having to smell the tourists on hot summer days. Maybe he simply meant that Gillibrand was the most malodorous senator.

    LOL! :)
