Reid Blames Bush Surge for Return of O.J.

by Scott Ott

(2007-09-16) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, today blamed the so-called “success” of President George Bush’s military surge in Iraq for the sudden return of O.J. Simpson to the national news stage.

“Today we lay yet another tragedy at the White House doorstep,” Sen. Reid said. “For weeks, perhaps months, to come Americans will be mired in round-the-clock coverage of Mr. Simpson’s plight because — and only because — U.S. troops are not pulling out of Iraq immediately.”

Mr. Reid explained that if the surge had failed as expected, news cameras and reporters would be deployed to airbases right now to record the return of U.S. troops from Iraq, relegating Mr. Simpson’s legal trauma to the tabloids.

“But instead of memorable images of humbled American troops disembarking from aircraft,” he said, “our troops are stuck in Iraq, and we’re stuck with O.J. at the top of the hour and above the fold.”

Wow. I mean you know these people are stupid. But, wow. That is all I can say. I’m blown away by the number of Americans that find value in voting for this man.

That satire has probably become reality to some liberals.

It used to be I could tell a Scrappleface story without looking at the source. Life now imitates satire so thoroughly that those days are past.

It’s like the global warming crowd...they blame everything on climate change, now Reid is blaming everything on the surge progress. That is seriously one of the most ridiculous conclusions I’ve ever seen. Dingy makes a bigger fool of himself every day.

Oh wait...I just noticed this was Scrappleface. Disregard my last post.

Although, it is Harry Reid we’re dealing with here, I wouldn’t be surprised if he really did say something that stupid.
