Harry Reid: not fit for purpose.

Once again, the trouble remains where it has for the last two years: there are not enough words in the English language to describe what a feckless, incompetent pushover is the Senator from Nevada. Joe Lieberman campaigned against Barack Obama, questioned his patriotism, questioned his willingness to defend the country – and now will be left to chair the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Oversight.
Lieberman can now sandbag the administration at will. He will get the routine praise accorded anyone in Washington who routinely shits on the head of their own party, and any attempt to dislodge him for questionable actions will be painted as an attempt to stonewall or cover up misdoings in the administration. Holy Joe shouldn’t even be in the caucus – and now he gets punished for eight months of sabotage with…nothing.
Harry Reid just kneecapped Obama two months before he even takes office. If Congressional Democrats had any sack at all, they would pick a new Senate Majority Leader when they convene in January. Ironically, though, the only Dem in Congress with any sort of testicular fortitude is Nancy Pelosi.
Obama could learn a thing or two from Reagan: trust, but verify.
