Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sought to clarify comments he made in a testy exchange with a reporter on Wednesday, after conservatives pounced on what they portrayed as a serious government shutdown gaffe.

Pompous ass Dingy Harry and his ilk deserve to be Recalled. Sick senile punk.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Gaffe? GAFFE???!!!!

[Enterprise]

Harry REID - you just opened your filthy mouth and inserted BOTH FEET. The Republicans need to make him eat those feet, and make the Democrats pay dearly for his lack of compassion. He is after, the leader of the DEMOCRAT controlled Senate, and they need to share his filth.

I think it’s little short of amazing that Harry Reid has been allowed to act like an absolute and utter jackass throughout the budget debate and not a single member of the LSM has even attempted to call him out.

Political Gaffe; defined as an instance where a politician accidentally speaks the truth.

[Enterprise]

"Sen. Reid: “What right did they have to pick and choose what part of government is going to be funded?”"

The questions needs to be asked of Reid: "If the House doesn't have the right to pick and choose, can you tell us who does?"

When you are explaining, you are losing

[italianquaker]

Yes

[Enterprise]

Harry Reid: Sick, vile, senile, puerile punk.

[Vermont Lt]

If I were Harry Reid, I would be directing someone to go out into the desert and dig up one of those barrels of money to pay for this kid’s treatment.

Check out the comments on his Facebook site.

Wow! His constituents are p*ssed!

Aren’t the visuals of this week stunning, Whitehouse orders 90 year old WWII vets barrycaded from their war memorials and The Senate Majority Leader equating children with cancer to federal employees on paid leave.

The demon rats should surrender tonight before they hurt themselves any further.

I can only imagine what temper tantrums are being thrown tonight in the white hut.

Reid sure did provide the talking points for the next few news cycles.

Uh, hello conservatives, but it isn’t the responsibility of the Fed govt to ever help anyone with health problems.

Let’s not criticize Hairy for his comment; let’s empower the churches, neighborhoods and families to do the lifting for the poor and hurting and not expect it from the govt.

He called Dana a dumb ass. I hope she holds a grudge.

[VerySadAmerican]

This is something the republicans need to keep repeating no matter how many times Reid tries to crawfish.

Ape, Obama did the “I didn’t draw a red line” statement on video. Democrats get to do this.

[Tupelo]

It does not matter what he said or how he said it, now that he has “clarified” his statement,ABCNNBCBS MSNBC, ALJAZEERA, BLOOMBERG and FOX will all scrub his origional words and have him smelling like a fresh washed and powdered baby by this time tomorrow.

Little long in the sentence, but screw it.

[eyedigress]

Dingy Harry at his level best.

[VerySadAmerican]

It’s actually going to be difficult for Reid not to allow this bill to be voted on. If he says he didn’t mean it, then he has to prove he didn’t mean it.

[SunkenCiv]

Reid should be removed by his fellow Demwits for his stupid remarks.

Thanks mdittmar.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Ooooh... Mean Republicans pounced.

Damn, the enemedia sucks.
