At Least He Didn't Promise Civility and Bipartisanship

Harry Reid took a stupid shot at Chief Justice John Roberts, slandering him because Reid doesn't understand what justices do:

“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second Supreme Court justice nominated by President George W. Bush. “But we’re stuck with those two young men, and we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on — I think that will happen.”

One must assume that the moderates Reid is talking about are in the Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Paul Stevens mode. And as Ann Althouse notes, without transcripts to back up this claim, the only liar around these parts is Harry Reid.

But more important than moronic personal attacks by this dimwit is the fact that Reid thinks judicial filibusters are bad, but using budget reconciliation to ram through changes to the health care system is permissible. Somehow, my guess is that this is a IOKIYAD situation.
