All aboard the economic stimulus bandwagon.

Snit fit: “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has announced that he will call the Senate into pro forma sessions every several days during the upcoming winter recess in order to prevent President Bush from making recess appointments.”

Losers. Update: More pile-on.

So, they can’t–make that won’t–get it together to provide funding for the troops, but they’re going to pretend to work over the weekend in order to stomp their feet over Democrat appointments. My four-year-old is more mature than Harry Reid:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will keep the U.S. Senate in session over the [...]

AP flash:

The 53-45 vote was 15 votes short of the 60 needed to advance. It came minutes after the Senate rejected a Republican proposal to pay for the Iraq war without strings attached.
The Republican measure [...]

Harry needs a crib.

Cameron Diaz to Peru: “I’m an ogre!”

Harry Reid. Yowza.

Just to make clear, because it was a bit confusing, the two cloture votes that went down were these:
Question: On the Cloture Motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Kennedy Amdt. No. 1150, As Amended )
Vote Number: 203
Vote Date: June 7, 2007, 11:41 AM
Required For Majority: 3/5
Vote Result: Cloture Motion Rejected
Amendment Number:
S.Amdt. 1150 to to [...]

The concept of American citizenship is dead. Sen. Harry Reid drove the final nail in the coffin with his floor statement yesterday, in which he referred to the 12 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. as “12 million undocumented Americans.” I’ve heard a lot of stupid euphemisms for illegal aliens, but that one takes [...]

Move America Forward is leading protests at the LV and Carson City district offices of Harry Reid and the San Francisco office of Nancy Pelosi on Thursday:

In response to my post this morning about Wired’s story on the Army’s milblogger crackdown, I received an unauthorized e-mail request from one of our troops:
Who will stand up for the rights of soldiers? Fight for us. We fight for you.

Here’s the AP story:
A sharply divided House brushed aside a veto threat Wednesday and passed legislation that would order President Bush to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq by Oct. 1.
The 218-208 vote came [...]

The NYPost hammers Defeatist Harry:
From the start, Reid and the Democrats have seen the war in Iraq as a partisan opportunity.
They refuse to present a unified front to the rest of the world - especially to America’s enemies - because, in their pinched view, to do so would be to weaken their own prospects for [...]

Read it.

Joe Lieberman spanked Harry Reid over the weekend. Will any other Democrat do the same? The NRSC calls on Sen. Mary Landrieu to disavow Sen. Reid’s defeatist comments regarding the war in Iraq:

Where does she stand?
How about Jay Rockefeller? Tom Harkin? Anyone?

They still hate Fox News. And they’re stepping up the pressure on Harry Reid to cave in to their anti-FNC campaign in Nevada.
