What the heck is wrong with Harry Reid?
He was on the Daily Show tonight. As Jon Stewart asked him the first couple question, Reid just stared speechless at Stewart. Like weak tea.
Stewart asked the origins of Reid's new book. Reid went on some weird "The people of Nevada don't know me" pre-rehearsed non sequitur. (Only Harry Reid can put himself on the defensive!)
Stewart remarked that Reid was known for strength (he is?) but that he was rather quiet right now. Reid remained quiet. Stewart then asked if he could filibuster Reid (given his quietness), to which Reid haplessly replied, "Everyone else has." (How is he our leader!)
Stewart then asked if we are in a holding pattern in the Senate with the presidential candidate on the campaign trail. Reid said we've been in a holding pattern since Dems took over Congress -- but instead of taking on the Republicans, he whined about how their majority is too slim, how Tim Johnson was sick, etc.
NOT ONCE DID HE SAY ANYTHING AGAINST MCCAIN OR REALLY ON MESSAGE ABOUT WHY PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE DEMOCRATIC THIS YEAR. Harry Reid - why is he such a dud?
