As a dark-skinned American, let me say in the most urban dialect I can muster: Awwww, yeaaaaah! Via the Rothenberg Political Report, Harry-Kiri is here: New polling confirms that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) is mired near 40% in general election ballot tests against all potential opponents, even those voters know nothing about. It [...]

Reid’s “Macaca” moment.

Harry Reid thinks you’re a racist for opposing the government health care takeover. He’s using your money to pay off Demcare wobblers. Nevadans are getting sick and tired of him. His fellow Democrats are dropping like flies. And tomorrow, Dingy Harry will be in Las Vegas for a health care event. Organizing for America is [...]

It’s official. The Hill reports this morning that the Dems have formally agreed to bypass the formal conference committee process to ram the government health care plan through for Barack Obama: “Aides said the agreement was reached during a Tuesday evening meeting at the White House with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and [...]

When last we left the Senate chamber, Harry Reid had dragged himself onto the floor after an hour delay to recess until 12:01am Eastern. An hour after midnight, the Dems brought the defense authorization bill up for a cloture vote. This after months and months of delay on the bill, which has been used by [...]

Wasn’t it just the other day that Harry Reid was roasting obstructionist Republicans for delaying a historic vote on health care takeover legislation? You know – slavery, suffrage, civil rights, and all that? Yeah, it was. Now, Hurry Up and Wait Harry wants to take the weekend off…for a New Orleans fund-raiser to help him [...]

Plus: “I guess I’m a racist!”

A few weeks ago, intrepid Harry Reid was telling us he wouldn’t be “bound by any timelines” and wouldn’t rush the government health care takeover through the Senate on a White House-imposed schedule. Neeeever mind: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) late Tuesday laid the groundwork for the Senate’s healthcare reform debate to start next [...]

The man is really something else. Really something else. He still doesn’t have a health care bill to show the American people, but he’s whining that Republicans don’t have sufficiently “comprehensive” alternatives of their own — when, in fact, Republicans have had plenty of legislative proposals on the table. The chutzpah of Harry Reid knows [...]

FNC’s Major Garrett tweets that Democrat Sen. Evan Bayh is “uncommitted” on Harry Reid’s “public option” plan announced yesterday. Politico’s Manju Ranu reports that Joe Lieberman supports a GOP filibuster: Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Tuesday that he’d back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health care reform bill. Lieberman, who caucuses [...]

Capitol Hill awaits a 3:15pm Eastern press conference from Harry Reid, who is reportedly set to announce his public-option plan amid uncertainty over Democrat support: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this afternoon will announce his decision to include a government-run health care plan, or “public option,” in the health care bill he brings to the [...]

Signs of real Hope and Change from Nevada! Via the Las Vegas Review-Journal: It’s the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada [...]

Cue “Had a Bad Day:” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid became the latest Democrat to stray into rhetorical trouble Tuesday, botching statements on three subjects in one news conference—including the fragile health of the chamber’s most senior members. The Nevada Democrat reported that one of them, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., was absent because he was [...]

Dingy Harry Reid’s home state constituents are growing as weary of him as the rest of us. Hope for change lives: Nearly half of Nevadans have had enough of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as the powerful Democrat heads into his re-election campaign, a new Las Vegas Review-Journal poll finds. About a third of the [...]

I want to remind you of what Harry Reid said just a few years ago in response to Republican calls for Social Security and Medicare reform. Reacting to GOP warnings in 2005 about the impending insolvency of both programs, Reid sneered: “Today’s report confirms that the so-called Social Security crisis exists in only one place [...]

Grubby.

GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson attempted several times to bring their bipartisan amendment to the floor last week. SA 239 would require local governments and businesses that receive porkulus money to use the federal E-Verify citizenship check system. On the House side, a long term extension of the E-Verify program passed [...]

The Democrats’ retreat is complete: Roland Burris gets his seat: U.S. Senate officials have approved Roland Burris to fill the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama, sources said on Monday, in a major about-face for the Democratic leadership. (link) Wonder if they’ll do a hush-hush middle of the night swearing-in on Friday. The fewer [...]

Harry Reid has filed S. 9, the Democrats’ new shamnesty bill. Not much difference in principle between Reid’s bill and McCain-Kennedy-Bush. Disingenuous lip service to immigration enforcement? Check. Path to legalization? Check. There are a few new nuggets — most notably, open hostility to the Fence in Name Only on our southern border. Quoting from [...]

Darn. One high drama on the Hill is about to end. It was fun while it lasted.

The good news is that conservative stalwart Sen. Tom Coburn is looking out for you. The bad news is that Dingy Harry and the Dems have wasted no time wasting more of your money. One of the first orders of business of the 111th Congress will be to pass a massive omnibus lands bill. Sen. [...]

Silly you! Don’t you know that when Harry Reid complained about how D.C. tourists reek, what he was really saying was how awesomely awesome they are: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid defended himself Wednesday over a joking comment that tourists to the Capitol sometimes smell. Turns out many people weren’t amused. The Nevada Democrat has [...]

Stinker.

P-U!

Rejected.

Dingy.

The Democrats’ vacation continues.

Smear job.

Pity the 14 percenters.
