Reid caves again

Damn. Talk about a lightweight.

Following Al Franken's victory, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (pictured here) has now caved to Republican sore loser tantrums by deciding not to seat Franken.

Um, are you sure Reid is Majority Leader? Reid's Democrats are in the majority in the Senate now, right? So why are they caving to the Republican loudmouths?

Because that's all Reid has done since he took the Majority Leader post. Every time the GOP turns on the waterworks, Reid caves. In fact, Reid usually caves even before the GOP gets around to whining about something. Man, he's quick!

Harry Reid is little more than a life-sized cardboard cutout of a man. You tap him on the shoulder, and he tumbles to the floor with the smirk on his face intact.

For their part, Republicans had planned to disrupt the Senate's swearing-in ceremony if Franken was seated. How mature.

Minnesota officials have already certified that Franken won. Neither the Republicans nor Harry Reid get to decide that he didn't. It's simply not their decision.

I guess they want to go down in history as not abiding by a legitimate election.
