Senator Harry Reid Calls Bush A 'Loser'
In a manner unbecoming a United States Senator, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called President Bush a "loser."
Dem Senate Leader Harry Reid [NV] called the president 'a loser' today while Bush is representing the country overseas in Europe...
'I think this guy is a loser. I think President Bush is doing a bad job,' Reid said during a gathering in Vegas...
This kind of childish name calling is despicable behavior for a U.S. Senator. Regrettably, Senator Reid will walk away unscathed. Isn't it odd that Senator Trent Lott, who said a few kind words to a centenarian Senator on his birthday, is pressured into resigning as Senate Party Leader, but Senator Reid outright calls the President a "loser" and nothing even resembling a punishment ensues?
I hope I am wrong. For once, I'd like to see a Democrat receive their due for blatantly foul behavior. This is not to say that he can't criticize the President--however, if he's going to call the President a "loser" like a five-year-old would, rather than a Senator, then perhaps he should not be a Senator anymore. At a minimum, his leadership status in the Senate should be called into question and perhaps a demotion may be in order. This, just as his party demanded and got of Senator Lott.
UPDATE: Even though the liberal cheerleaders don't see anything wrong with Senator Reid's comments, Senator Reid realized he made a mistake.
Republican National Communications Director Brian Jones issued a statement calling the senator's comments "a sad development but not surprising from the leader of a party devoid of optimism, ideas or solutions to the issues people care about most."After the statement was released, Reid phoned the Review-Journal to acknowledge he thought he crossed the line.
"You know the president is in Europe, probably sleeping," Reid said in an interview this afternoon. "But I called (Karl) Rove and apologized for what I said."

Harry Reid needs a mirror, a clue, and a good sharp blow to the head with a blunt instrument. Another Democrats head should do the trick.

I'm not even spending the time to read.
"W" should consider himself lucky. If Reid was like the VP he would tell him to go F-himself.
Aaron, Better go wipe your face.

Bush is a LOSER and I am glad he said it. But Senator Reid did call and apologize for what he said since he said he crossed the line.

He apologized? That goes to show the libs are willing to admit when they are wrong. Wrong, as in the comment was inappropriate for a Senator, not that Bush is a loser.
Harry: Two Points!
Dick: Nada, ZIP!

Wheeeee! Look at all the impotent leftists cheering lame insubordination from an inferior!
We dominate the ENTIRE government (except for shitass judges but we'll jettison them soon)! Spiteful words from an idiot is all you got left leftards - empty words from an equally empty vessel.
We Own You!

The thing is you do, yet you have asshelmets like Steve and most of your pundit class who continue to try and blame things on Democrats.

Because leftist idiots still stand in the way of anything sensible, rational or for the general good.

And because we have too many Jews apparently.
Why dont you just say it? There is no sensible reason you are up in arms. Democrats just have too many non whites on our side. We exist so off to the camps with them.

Somebody tell Sen Reid that the definition of LOSER, is "John Kerry". What an idiot!!
Posted by Jack at May 9, 2005 12:13 AM
Loser: to have lost, to not win. Let's see 51%, I guess the definition is innaccurate.

Godwin Alert!
There comes a point when Godwin becomes void like when the person its invoked at actually resorts to eliminationist rhetoric. Thanks for playing.

Reid made his silly comment to a group of kids, Cheney made his privately to his opponent, It is not comparable.

As usual, honesty does not suit the Republicans well. Sorry about that.
