You have to see this one to believe it, folks. In fact, even that might not be enough. I've seen it, and I can't believe it. I yield to no one in my subterranean opinion of Harry Reid, but how can you . . . what could possibly lead you to . . . who would ever think they could get away with . . . just watch:
Seriously, what is this? We all know Reid is shameless and will say anything, presumably operating on the theory that the media will never call him out, no matter what he says. But . . . this?
I tried to come up with a scenario in which he had honestly forgotten having said it, but with as much coverage as it received, there is really no way you can find that theory plausible, unless he is simply not all there in some way that's above my pay grade to diagnose. Maybe someone just writes this stuff for him and he just gets up there and reads it and really doesn't give too much thought to what's he's saying. It's entirely possible that he doesn't read the conservative media that repeated his statement for weeks on end, but surely he has aides savvy enough to keep an eye on these things, and who would know that he couldn't get up and deny what there is clear video evidence of his having done, yes?
Or . . . is Reid just amusing himself here? Is he so confident that the media will never call him out that he is willing to get up and say something this brazen - knowing full well that everyone's jaws are dropping - and simply walk away grinning and muttering under his breath, "You'll never catch me"?
All I know is this: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the leader of the United States Senate. If you are not recoiling in horror at that realization, I do not know what else to tell you.
