Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had some of his harshest words yet for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Friday, suggesting his colleague lacks the temperament and judgment to be president.
Reid used time on the Senate floor to talk presidential politics, lumping the GOP nominee together with President Bush and drawing a clear distinction between them and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Our dangerous world calls for leaders with sound judgment, not those with a temperament prone to recklessness,” Reid said. “Our country deserves more than token shifts and lip service to change. We need to take decisive action to reverse eight years of foreign policy mistakes. That’s exactly what Sen. Obama and Senate Democrats offer.”
The McCain campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reid is typically critical of McCain at news conferences and in statements, but the tone of his remarks Friday took the rhetoric to a new level. Reid’s office acknowledged as much, but would not say whether the comments were intended to coincide with a more aggressive tack taken by the Obama campaign.

Don't be too hard on old Harry. After all, he was the first one on the block to explain that the surge failed. Don't laugh - that become a major element of the Democrat platform and a theme of the Obama campaign. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
OK. Now you can laugh.
So, Sen Reid was using U. S. Government resources to campaign for Sen Obama, huh?
Isn’t that a violation of law?
Mr. Reid is, perhaps, the most miserable man in public life. He is supremely unhappy.
Have you ever heard him say something good about anyone or anything?
I guess it’s a gift.
He’s even a self-professed pessimist. Says it keeps him from being disappointed.
Good Lord. The man is, evidently, disappointed by just about the whole world...and then some.
Two questions:
What makes liberal politicians so stupid?
What makes liberals vote for liberal politicians?
The fact that Reid himself acts like a spoiled 2 year old gives him no room to accuse someone else. He and Pelosi can fume and spout more than anyone I know in politics.
Like Palin said, I can think of no better endoresement!
Who (besides hard core leftists and the media) takes squeaky Harry Reid seriously? He looks and sounds like the little hack politician he is.
Reid's infamous "The war is lost" comment (April 19th, 2007) will be his political epitaph.
Thanks Harry! Keep it up!
LLS
I especially like “the lip service to change” part. Congress what have you done lately? Worst congress in history!
The Democrats are enabling the Republicans to take over the government.
(I only hope the RINOs in the ranks don't screw things up again.)
Dingy Harry speaks - Mr. 9% approval rating himself.
Reid, the whore of the MOB, lacks a spine to be majority leader in the Senate.
LOL Reid, the casino gaming mouse wimp is an idiot.
Sen. Harry Reid...take a good look at your face, you’ve been marked by the Devil.
