Harry Reid will say or do anything to maintain power, of course, and if you look at life as he does you can understand why. His entire mission is to a) protect Barack Obama from any type of accountability whatsoever; and b) make sure no reasonable piece of legislation is ever given consideration in the United States Senate. This is the type of agenda that one obviously cannot defend by being honest about it. And what makes Reid's position so precarious is that he really faces and all-or-nothing proposition: Today he rules the Senate with an iron fist. Tomorrow he may find himself cast out to wail and gnash his teeth, with no power at all remaining in his dingy little hands.
