How stupid is Harry Reid? REEAAL stupid.
Cheney called out Reid for his idiocy, and basically called him a flip-flopper (though not literally).
CNN:
"Some Democratic leaders seem to believe that blind opposition to the new strategy in Iraq is good politics," Cheney said. "Sen. Reid himself has said that the war in Iraq will bring his party more seats in the next election.
"It is cynical to declare that the war is lost because you believe it gives you political advantage," Cheney said. Bonus Video ...
So Reid responds by saying he won't name call, and them promptly starts name calling.
"I'm not going to get into a name calling match with the administration's chief attack dog," Reid said. Bonus Video ...
Politico has a piece today about how Democrats are jumping ship before Reid takes on too much water, and sinks.
Several leading Democrats said this week that they did not agree with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's recent statement that "the war is lost" in Iraq, even while they support his broader message.
I guess Reid deviated from his prepared speech, and spoke from the heart when he called the war lost.
Jim Manley, Reid's spokesman, said earlier that the "war is lost" comment was not in Reid's prepared text for the news conference last Thursday. But from now on, Manley said, the senator will "couch it more": The mission in Iraq is not working and must be changed.
You can't write a sitcom character this feeble-minded.
