Reid and Pelosi’s collective failure to unseat Bush and Cheney is why I left the democratic party after 37 years. It’s not too late to hold them to account; but, Reid for one won’t do it, and he inserted a little codespeak in yesterday’s Meet The Press:

SEN. REID: And finally, David, let me say this. Whatever program we have, let’s not talk about the last eight years. Let’s talk about the next eight years.

Sure, they were talking about economic stimulus and infrastructure repair, but his approach to holding the Bush administration to account is the same: move along, nothing to see here. Harry and Nancy are complicit in Bush and Cheney’s crimes, and should burn along with them.

So, where are the trolls letting us know they are impressed that we hold our own accountable? Probably wetting themselves because accountability of your own is beyond them.

By now, Bush and his lickspittles should not only know how loathed they are, they should know WHY, and to counteract criticism with something of the “Yeah, well you suck too” variety only goes to prove how right Reid is in HIS criticism. But Reid’s criticism would carry far more weight were it not uttered BY Reid, someone who continually enabled this Administration to live up to its complete potential of a-holishness, this wiev site As we don’t take Rove or Delay seriously when they’re trotted out on television to talk about the culture of corruption and hyper-partisanship in modern politics, so too can I not take Reid as seriously as I would like when he talks about the incompetency of others.

Classical liberals are for Children’s welfare, a healthy environment, and social justice for working class people too. We just believe that the Free Market and Free Enterprise and the fair enforcement of private property rights for all is the best way to go.

yeah, they are for children, just for their “right” to work long hours at the factories and get hurt in their machines…just like the old quaint 1800s with no restrictions on child labor.

Mitch McConnell has the stature of a pissant. Nobody, except a few mouthbreathing, slopeheaded, wingnuts, give a rat’s ass what Mitch McConnell says.

Of course, TP skips over the fact that a sitting Minority Leader (which Reid was at the time) called a sitting president a “loser,” as David Gregory pointed out. For that, Reid should have been sorry, at least publicly. You know that the liberal blogosphere would have been up in arms if Mitch McConnell or someone else of his stature hurled this or similar insults toward a democratic president (ex. Jimmy Carter, or Bill Clinton). They, along with democratic leaders, would have demanded he apologize to the president, I’m sure. As far as Reid calling Bush a liar and worst president ever? That’s fair game.

drew3rd, of course Reid is taken seriously — just not by you and others of no consequence. I still think Dana is as cute as a bug’s ear though.

I agree drew. The Bush administration are not fascists. At least fascists make the trains run on time. This gang is more like the Hun.

And ElBruce, I’m surprised at how thin skinned you are on this one. The Bush administartion is not the National Socialist Party(Nazi’s) and Perino is correct in pointing out that Reid ISN’T taken seriously. He looks and acts like Snow White’s Dopey dwarf, just not as endearing. Administrations have said all kinds of unkind things about their opponents historically. Have you watched former presidents Carter and Clinton imploding 200 hundred years of presidential tradition? Once again, I’m surprised at you, you are typically much more thoughtful and intellectually honest than this.

Does Dopey the Dwarf REALLY believe he possesses “gravitas”. Bush is arguably the worst president ever. He does have stiff competition from Carter. Dopey has no competition as the most flaccid senate majority leader of all time.

So, Dana, we should take YOU seriously…?

Why?

Didn’t someone once refer to politics as the art of the possible?
Would it have been possible to impeach Bush? Would half of the Republican senators have voted aye? Of course not. But it would have made the god,gays,and guns voters more aggressively defensive of their misguided ideas and their woefully inadequate prez. It would have made the past election much more difficult, and we might even be talking about VP Palin today.
Am I happy that some things that I would have liked to see get through congress didn’t? Of course not , but , and I know this is an over-used statement , but 40 Rs could stop 51 Ds (and that’s counting Lieberman) on anything.
So , in a couple of weeks we begin anew. Let’s judge Reid and Pelosi then.
As for Bush , no one is preventing The Hague from coming after him and his co-conspiritors. Certainly not me.

I’ll amend my statement. While I don’t disagree with Perino’s statement (I don’t think Reid is taken seriously, nor should he be until/unless he starts to show some backbone), it is something that a spokesperson for the White House shouldn’t say, not should anyone within the White House, if the Administration expects to be taken seriously itself.

By now, Bush and his lickspittles should not only know how loathed they are, they should know WHY, and to counteract criticism with something of the “Yeah, well you suck too” variety only goes to prove how right Reid is in HIS criticism. But Reid’s criticism would carry far more weight were it not uttered BY Reid, someone who continually enabled this Administration to live up to its complete potential of a-holishness. As we don’t take Rove or Delay seriously when they’re trotted out on television to talk about the culture of corruption and hyper-partisanship in modern politics, so too can I not take Reid as seriously as I would like when he talks about the incompetency of others.

Yeah, and Perino, you should know saomething about not being taken seriously. Ditto for your Frat Boy.

Screw you, Dana, and the fool you rode into town on. Get the * out of the White House.

I complain about Reid as much as anybody else, but I still have to say if a public official ever utters the words “The Senate Majority Leader isn’t really taken seriously,” in ANY administration in history, that pretty much proves you have no damn idea what you’re talking about. Clearly she doesn’t understand how the American government is structured. Perino is moving beyond the realm of mere lies into one of pure insanity.

Regarding the socialism practiced by the National Socialist party, it actually was based on extremely close working relationships between large privately-owned corporations and government. Sound familiar? It’s basically neocon economic policy, running unopposed. Socialism as done in the USSR was based around labor organizing, which would be a precisely opposite approach.

Sorry, Mark701, as much as I loathe Perino and the boss for whom she shills, she’s right, no one takes Reid seriously. Why should they? You may agree with his values and his politics but when it comes to take action, the jackass caves like a poorly-monitored coal mine. Listening him talk about ANY politicians lack of abilities is like listening to Paris Hilton opine over who is or is not Skankified.

“The Senate Majority Leader isn’t really taken seriously,” she said.

that part’s true, unfortunately…
