Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ripped House Speaker John Boehner as a “coward” in private on Thursday — and immediately ­afterwards described him as a “nice guy” in public.

“He’s a coward,” Reid said of Boehner, referring to his GOP rival’s efforts to preserve subsidies for lawmakers’ health-care coverage, while later backing a House bill to end them.

Reid made the comment at a closed-door meeting of Democratic senators Thursday, Politico reported.

Minutes later, he went before TV cameras with a different assessment.

“I feel positive that John Boehner — who’s basically a nice guy — cannot let this go on,” Reid told reporters.

Boehner should return the favor by calling Reid an undead asshole.

Now why did I laugh at that? :-)

I have no problem calling Boehner a coward publicly.
