Government shutdown: Harry Reid: ‘I am not a criminal’ By: Burgess Everett October 2, 2013 11:24 AM EDT

There will be no charm offensive from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said Wednesday that Republicans are “obsessed” with beating him in a political chess match rather than opening back up the government.

“Some in the Republican conference are too mad at me personally, too obsessed at getting me personally to back down from doing what most of America believes is the right thing,” Reid said, again reiterating that the Senate’s six-week clean spending bill is the only way out of a shutdown.

The Nevada Democrat also defended his role in fighting Republican attempts to water down Obamacare as a condition to keeping the government open, responding directly to a National Review piece that called him the “villain of villains.”

“When I read this yesterday, I thought, no one likes to be called a villain,” Reid said, reading aloud definitions of the word that mean “uncouth,” “scoundrel” or “criminal.” “I am not a criminal. I am not a scoundrel. So they better get a different definition of me.”

Hairy Roid’s voice sounds like an 88 year old librarian.

But there are longstanding rumors that you are a pedophile. You can Google it.

Pretty amusing that Senator Gillette or Mr. Cleanface (as mobsters called him on FBI wire taps) tries to pretend to not be crooked.

Anyone less well-connected than Reid would be rotting in federal prison.

Harry, add senile to your list of faults. I seem to recalled a bill to fund military pay sailing through with little opposition. Please explain why the same can't be done for other "critical" funding requirements. Is there something else more pressing that you must devote the Senate's time to, or is it you and little Barry are just criminally piss'd you're not getting your way?

What Chicken Sh!ts you all are...

I called shiiteheads office after I heard him disrespect Mr.Cruz after the filibuster. I really tried to be respectful like Mark Levin said to be. I couldn’t. I just couldn’t hold back my utter distaste for this waste of skin.

I ended up telling him that he will be hung from the highest branch of the tree of liberty .

Actually Reid is a criminal and he knows why. He has never been indicted though. But he has committed crimes.

He has a voice like Godfather Vito Corleone
