Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has turned down a Russian request to meet with him to discuss Syria, his office tells CNN, making it unclear if any U.S. lawmakers will sit down with a planned delegation from Moscow.

This comes less than a day after House Speaker John Boehner similarly turned down a request from the Russian government to meet.

You got it. Harry told his secretary he’s not to be bothered, locked himself in his office & crawled under the desk.

The Russians are desperate to meet with someone that isn’t a moron like Obama.

I don’t blame them.

I wouldn’t want to meet with the moron or his wookie wife.

I’m beginning to think the left is getting excited about the thought of Americans dying for the sake of terrorists for dubious reasons. All left leaning Republicans need to be put out to pasture as well. What is wrong with them? Are they stupid or just evil?

Consider:

On the same side: Obama, al Qaeda, Reid and Boehner.

Harry Reid is a douchebag but having said that - I’m not sure that this is how this sort of thing is supposed to be handled. I think purely based on protocol I would have done the same thing.

Who is available that has any power in the U.S. AND brains? I wish Allen West, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin or even Mitt Romney were President--we wouldn't be falling down this poop hole.
