Or Most of the Bills You Pass, for That Matter
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009“I understand that during her career, she’s written hundreds and hundreds of opinions. I haven’t read a single one of them, and if I’m fortunate before we end this, I won’t have to read one of them.”
I thought that our senators were supposed to, I dunno, represent us and work for us. I’ve got some suggestions for him if he’ll just take people at their word though.
As long as she fits the template all is well.
This is the type running G.M and soon,the health care industry.
Are you kidding me? How the hell will he know if she represents her constituent’s interest if he doesn’t know her history? Isn’t that what he’s supposed to do, represent the interest of his constituents and make choices/pass laws that benefit them?
If this lady ends up being some crazy old hag I’m going to blame it all on him.
I’m sorry but Harry Reid is just dumb. “if he were any dumber he’d need a helmet”
Wait, wut?
We have a nice company sponsored cafe where I work. I don’t think they’d be too keen on delivering lunch to my office even if I brought someone important in to visit. Having to make a profit is such a nuisance.
But, I’d be willing to bet the pictures in my office are more interesting than the ones in Reid’s office. My pictures all big 16×20s of women models that I’ve seen naked (although they’re not naked in these particular pictures).
*sticks out tongue at Reid*
Reid obviously takes that advise and consent role way too seriously.
Excuse me. That should have been:
*sticks out tongue at Schumer*
“After more strained small talk, a reporter had the temerity to ask about Sotomayor’s confirmation. “We’re not going to take questions,” Schumer said.”
Why couldn’t just one reporter ask “Why in the hell are we here then?
Remind me again how this SCOTUS pick isn’t about pandering and identity politics?
Harry Reid can read?
He’s the best. I think that statement may have earned him a hush-hush weeklong stay at one of Rush Limbaugh’s vacation homes.
Judging from the article, it seems like he cannot.
And he’s apparently proud of it.
Is he serious? Does he really think that’s something to brag about, or even freely admit? Can we get him some water wings and a helmet?
I should really read the comments before posting. Sorry, Tokin.

s’ok. I stole my line from That 70’s show.
I have found yet another thing that progressives and libertarians have in common:
They all think that Harry Reid is a useless, pointless hole from which bad decisions and worse governance flow.
I’m as brainwashed as any other liberal I suppose, but I still can’t stand Reid or Pelosi. They both rub me the wrong way, even when I agree with them on the issues. This quote is just another example of that.
#20: I’m honestly interested in knowing what issues you agree with Reid on. Because as far as I can tell, the weasel doesn’t actually believe in anything, aside from increasing his own political power.
That article was actually pretty entertaining to read, and it poked fun at some of the Senators’ stupid remarks. Though it just points out the obvious: Reid and most other Senators are just camera-whoring morons.
He was exposed to heavy metals during his developmental years in a small Nevada mining town, and received many blows to the head as a boxer in his youth.
I really want to like this guy and the democrats, but one look at Pelosi’s
surgical death mask simulated smile and you can almost see the Archons at work
Hmm. Not surprised. Then again, I’ve ceased being surprised by the stupidity and ineptitude of our politicians. So statements like that are par for the course.
DaveG at 23:
With respect, you’re buying into a frame that sexist assholes want you to buy into:
* – If a female political figure shows any emotion at all then she’s an emotional headcase and not to be trusted with grown-up stuff. (See the Rosen hit piece on Sotomayor and related nonsense to pick just one example.)
* – If the female political figure, aware of that problem, keeps a tight rein on her emotions and emoting then she’s represented as an unreal ice-queen.
Frankly, the utterly, utterly, utterly phony, vacuous smiles of hypocrites like this or this are far, far creepier and unreal.
Hey kids, lets have fun, applying Senate Leader Harry Reid’s approach to legislation to our regular lives:
1. boss, I haven’t read a single one of my memos, and if I’m fortunate before we end this, I won’t have to read one of them”
3. “hey visa card, I never haven’t read a single one of your bills, and if I’m fortunate before we end this, I won’t have to read one of them”
3. Of course, officer, I haven’t read a single speed sign, or my speedometer…”
Maybe with the arrogance implicit in Harry Reid’s approach, he should be called “dear leader”
SJE:
Just a clarification: Number 3 (speed limits, etc.) works if you actually ARE a police officer.
I briefly considered applying to Southern Utah University, which counts Mr Reid amongst its alumni. Now I’m really glad I didn’t.
I hereby nominate Reid for the Ostrich of the Year award.
@ SJE # 26
You go first.
Let us how it works out.
After you get out of hospital from trying # 3.
I’m honestly interested in knowing what issues you agree with Reid on. Because as far as I can tell, the weasel doesn’t actually believe in anything, aside from increasing his own political power.
I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
#30
Aresen, I’ve already lost 3 front teeth and been beaten by a mob for standing up to bullies, so I’ll have to pass.
SJE # 32
Well, when confronted by bullies, why don’t you take your shades off and blast them with your Cyclops Vision (or whatever your mutant power is.)
:)
Seeker60- I may be influenced by sexist a-holes. But my real concern is the influence of cyborgs who excel in the psycotechnology of virtual reality and intrude upon humanity by psychic stealth.
Life is simpler though if you believe Jesus is a factual historical figure and the 9-11 official story
Aresen: Doh!, I keep forgetting about my Cyclops Vision, what with the sunglasses being so comfortable. Better go get into my X-men jet and fly on home.
Senators don’t read the bills that the lobbyists write for them why in the hell would they read the decisions of a person nominated for the Supreme Court?
Being in the Senate is a good job if you can get it. Look at their salary, look at their health care package. Good job, lots of perks, and all you have to do is run for re-election, and raise money for that campaign and your national party. I should have paid more attention in public speaking classes I’ve had.
