Congress may have returned to work for an abbreviated session but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Lobotomy) made sure he brought his long-term stupidity with him.
The increasingly irrelevant Reid appears to be indefatigable in his pursuit of disaster in Iraq. Reid has decided there is no news coming out of Iraq other than what's written in his obviously unstable head. Reid held a press conference when he got back and flatly stated that "The surge hasn't accomplished its goals..."
One has to wonder, just how close is Reid's Nevada home to Area 51? He has now become the prominent Democrat the party faithful look to when they want to feel that Howard Dean is marginally sane. If he stays in power instead of getting the help he desperately needs he'll probably start flying the Union Jack at his HQ because he thinks we lost the Revolutionary War.
"I don't care what you've heard, the rebellion didn't go very well for the colonists. History and the president are lying to you. I'm off for a spot of tea. Cheers."
I'm very curious about the inner machinations of the Democratic party and its criteria for leadership. Lately it seems that they cast their gazes about to find who among them is exhibiting the strangest behavior.
"Chairman Dean, I found a congressman sticking a letter opener in his temple during roll call, we've got to fast-track him up the ladder! What's that? Too sane? OK, I'll keep looking."
I'm a real American and I firmly believe in every American's right to an opinion on what the country does, especially regarding wars. I've never automatically said that anti-war people are unpatriotic. I do, however, believe that Reid's constant ignoring of any good news out of Iraq makes him unfit to be influential in any political decisions about the war.
Harry needs to put his talents to better use and become a full time clown.
