Jane gives us the narrative, and it ain't pretty. Harry Reid is hopeless.

But this is my favorite line, from Reid:

"I don't work for Barack Obama."

This from the guy who blamed Obama for his caucus' decision to keep Lieberman as chair of Homeland Security. He was Obama's Employee of the Month back then.

So Reid was outbluffed by Lieberman, then he was outbluffed by McConnell on seating Franken, and now he'll be outbluffed by the guy appointed by the crooked governor.

Meanwhile, while he rants about one crook, he coddles another.

My personal feeling, you guys, I don't know what good [sending former Sen. Ted Stevens to jail would do] ... He was a real war hero too, you know. He's been punished enough.

If Republicans were truly smart, they'd give Reid an electoral pass. He's the best thing Republicans have going for them in the entire Congress.
