Harry Reid: YouTube Sensation, Village Idiot
Everyone who’s read this blog knows that Harry Reid is the easiest target ever known to bloggers. This editorial is additional proof of that. Here’s the editorialist’s first proof:
His latest hilarious monologue came a few days ago on the Fox Business channel when, in trying to defend the exorbitant costs (and federal subsidies) of renewable power, he asserted that money is overrated in debating the country’s energy policy.
“Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country. It’s ruining our world,” Sen. Reid blurted out between pregnant pauses. “We’ve got to stop using fossil fuels.”
Yes, the resources that not only drive the world’s economy and rising standard of living, but make life and prosperity possible in his political base of Las Vegas, are “ruining our country” and “ruining our world.”
This was the predictable outcome of Harry’s shooting his mouth off:
By Thursday afternoon, the video clip had close to 400,000 hits on YouTube.
Is it any wonder why Harry Reid is the foremost YouTube sensation while he’s simultaneously the world’s finest village idiot? As laughable as that is, the editorialist points out something even more hilarious:
In an interview with Jan Helfeld, Sen. Reid first denies that America’s progressive tax structure transfers wealth from its most productive citizens to its least productive, then attempts to argue for several minutes that the federal income tax is voluntary. That clip already has about 175,000 Web hits.
“Our system is a voluntary system,” he says again and again.
Sen. Reid should try peddling that to Leona Helmsley.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Harry Reid is the most incompetent person to ever lead the House or Senate in either a minority or majority position. God help us if someone surpasses Reid’s incompetent leadership. That wouldn’t be laughable. That’d be really frightening.

Is reid really more moronic than Dumbya or John McBush? really, lets get serious.
Global warming does make people sick. smog, contaminated water and food does make us sick. but you all can still live in the stone ages where you prefer it.

Dumbya and McBush. Lets see, . . that would be Goerge W and McCain, Oh thats so original!
You must be Harry’s writer.

No comment on the factual statement he made about how oil and coal make us sick ?? thought so. Dumbya and John McBush are your guys and they are originals. thank god there are only one of those fools. we almost did not survive their Rule.

Well, the best answer against a fool is none at all.
Coal males you sick.
My God what a revelation!!!

Or if you cannot come up with a logical, coherent response you say NOTHING AT ALL,with some name calling of course
Right TA Gray ??
So you agree with Reid that coal makes you sick ??

Note that this editorial is in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the largest newspaper in Nevada? Are they turning on sickly Harry? And, there are other things that make us sick, should we all live in a bubble? I do not think so. Life is a risk. Some risks work better than others. Unless you, Taguba, want to return to the bicycle era of Red China, we have to take a balanced approach. Not backing a supposed senate “leader” who makes insipid comments.

Mark, the LVJR has gone after Harry pretty hard & pretty consistently for at least a year.

Hey Taguba whens the last time you bought coal in a grocery store?
Now reach down between your legs and pull your head out.

Gary, I am not sure, but didin’t the Review-Journal endorse Sen. Sickly Harry for reelection? If they did or did not, I am glad that they are seeing the light about Sickly Harry. I know that there are better Democrats to be the majority leader in the senate. He is just way over his head.

And, he’s up against an old head that knows the book! Mitch McConnell has run circles around him.

The village idiot, huh? Must be Hillarious’ village, because anyone swallowing that tripe has to be an idiot.
The Chinese philosopher said “Tis better to keep one’s silence and seem the fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” A lesson, obviously, lost on not only Dingy, but also Nancy, BoBo, Tubby “The Swimmer” Teddy, Dennis Kucinich, and all the rest the donks, commies and nazis who really believe they know how to run my life by fiat better than I do by considered options. These village idiots scare the living bejeebers out of me, and they keep getting re-elected! Go figure.
