Harry Reid's Alternate Universe

Harry Reid explains the pork process in a way that shows that the man is not simply stupid, as I once thought, but truly insane.

As the author notes:

"Call me a knit-picker, but shouldn't the Senate Majority Leader understand the system he plays such a vital a role in enough to know that it makes no provision for presidential earmarks?"

And of course, Harry Reid gets his obligatory alternate universe comment` on Iraq.

"all people in Iraq -- different Shia sects, all of the Sunni sects -- believe that the problem in Iraq is based on that invasion that took place, almost five years ago. And they further believe that we're an occupying force and the only way that things are going to work out in Iraq is if we get out of there."

All people? Really? Every one? I've seen an awful lot of polls that show that the Iraqis do want us out, but not right now. They want us out after stability has been restored.
