Why do I write such insulting stuff? Because after the whiz-bang speech delivered by Sarah Palin last night -- something with a lot of red meat and, as usual for Republicans, chocked full of lies and half truths -- Reid issued a name-calling screed, calling Palin's speech "shrill and sarcastic." Okay, he's got her on sarcastic, but shrill...please. Yes, Palin is going to be the attack dog, another Bob Dole running along with Jerry Ford, but get real! Shrill? C'mon. She did a brilliant job, and was frankly the only thing that wasn't really pathetic among the Republican speakers. Giuliani? It's what everyone who spent eight years watching that sort of bullying nonsense when he was mayor is very used to. Huckabee and Romney? Those guys are hollow suits (although I like Huckabee's preacher delivery...he should read bedtime stories). Palin did a great job and may stick around after this election.
Back to Reid. The senate, we all can acknowledge, is an institution of long and twisting rules and processes, and, unlike the House, isn't much a place for bare-knuckle brawling. What's really sad is that a few too many true panty-waists have risen to positions of leadership. I'm hoping that if Senator Obama is elected president, that he throws his weight behind his former rival, Hillary Clinton, and also behind Pennyslvania's John Murtha to ascend to leadership positions in the Senate and House, respectively. The current leadership is just a little to nicey-nice for tough times.
And let's face it, while Sarah Palin's biology has gifted her a pussy, Harry Reid really is a pussy.
