Aw, how sweet. Looks like the minority dog-and-pony show for Harry Reid went off without a hitch. Everyone sang from the "Hail, Harry" hymn book in acceptable dialect. Well, almost:
The Nevada News Bureau catches Dingy Harry fibbing to voters about Demcare math and reduced doctor reimbursements. Joe Wilson moment: It is now old news that Senator Harry Reid extolled the virtues of his health care bill before a packed house at UNLV’s Judy Bailey Theater in Las Vegas last Thursday night. Reid said the...
Read MoreAs 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: That "African Americans for Reid" event should be quite a doozy, eh?
Reid's "Macaca" moment.
It was just last month that Dingy Harry Reid likened Republicans who oppose the government health care to proponents of slavery. Who's the real RAAAAAAACIST? Go ahead. Blame Bush for this, buddy. Go right ahead. Tea Party-basher Janeane Garofalo and her ilk spent the last year lambasting conservatives as racists. Where are they now? Time...
Read MoreHarry 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...
Read MoreIt'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...
Read MoreWhen last we left the Senate chamber, Harry Reid had dragged himself onto the floor after an hour delay to recess until 12:01am Eastern.

Read MoreWasn'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...
Read MorePlus: "I guess I'm a racist!"
It was the GOP that fought slavery and the Democrat Party that battled to preserve it. It's the Democrat Party, not the GOP, that boasts an ex-Klansman among its senior leaders. But don't confuse Harry Reid with history while he invokes slavery to lambaste the GOP for opposing the government-run health care takeover. Details? Bah!...
Read MoreA 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: Yes, by all means, keep heeding Bill Clinton's advice and may Obamacare/Pelosicare/Reidcare go the way of Clintoncare: Straight to the...
Read MoreThe 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...
Read MoreFNC's Major Garrett tweets that Democrat Sen. Evan Bayh is "uncommitted" on Harry Reid's "public option" plan announced yesterday.

Signs of real Hope and Change from Nevada! Via the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
Cue "Had a Bad Day:" Reid also flubbed statements on Robert Byrd's health and the Senate Dems' position on Gitmo detainee funding: Most competent Congress ever! *** Previous today: They're sick of Harry Reid, too
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...
Read MoreI 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...
Read MoreGrubby.
President Obama lambasted businesses that use taxpayer money to visit Las Vegas. It's okay, however, to use porkulus money to build pie-in-the-sky rail lines from Los Angeles to Vegas for Harry Reid's benefit. A Hill staffer points out this morning that Reid and Obama are pushing for an $8 billion earmark in the conference report...
Read MoreGOP Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson attempted several times to bring their bipartisan amendment to the floor last week.

Read MoreThe Democrats' retreat is complete: Roland Burris gets his seat: (link) Wonder if they'll do a hush-hush middle of the night swearing-in on Friday. The fewer witnesses to Harry Reid's humiliation the better.
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...
Read MoreDarn. 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....
Read MoreSilly 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: (link) Defusing a stink bomb with another stink bomb. Where is
Stinker.
(Photo image: Horrid Henry) Doug Powers presents the official soap of the Capitol Hill Visitors' Bureau: "Wash, peasants!" One more comment on Harry Reid's reeking insult of tourists visiting Washington, D.C.: Can you imagine the uproar if he had complained about the stench from D.C.'s homegrown homeless population? *** Previous: You reek: Letter from a...
