It’s too bad the above headline doesn’t read that way, for that really is the true situation. As it is, we have to live with (apologies in advance to Dennis!) the Foamy Rantings of the Senate Minority Leader from time to time...and those interims between times is fast disappearing:
“Where is Condoleezza Rice? Why isn’t she over in the Middle East, as the chief diplomat of this country should be, trying to get the political forces to form a government over there?”
Um, Senator Reid, the last time I checked, there IS a government in Iraq, which is going through the same type of bickering OUR government did two hundred and twenty years ago. The only difference is in the details.
Here’s another anecdote which contributes to Senator Reid’s current disposition:
A man named Jack Gordon, who later married LaToya Jackson, tried to give Reid a $12,000 bribe. Reid let the FBI videotape Gordon offering him the bribe, and then, according to a Las Vegas Review-Journal account, he “put his hands around Gordon’s neck and said, ‘You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me.’” That’s right, Senate Democrats are being led by a man who once tried to strangle LaToya Jackson’s future husband-manager. You call that boring?
Nope, not at all.
