Isn't Reid Old Enough for BOTH of Them to Drop?

His testicles, we mean. First the good news.

Earlier today, Sens. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) promised to do everything they can to strip retroactive immunity from “compromise” wiretapping legislation, including a filibuster. In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) office says he will co-sponsor and support their efforts

Great! But then, the turtle remembered he has a shell to crawl back into.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced moments ago on the Senate floor that he would vote against FISA, but that he has an obligation to move legislation that the majority wants:

I don’t particularly like FISA, and I’m going to vote against FISA. But, I have an obligation here as the Majority Leader to move legislation that the majority of the body wants to go forward.

HARRY. Jeebus. Somebody slap him please? Stop tempering your show of strength with this wussy bullshit already.

Late word from DC: Reid may be pushing FISA in the back of a host of other bills, and that would mean it wouldn't be scheduled for a vote until after July 4, if not further back.

So maybe they'll delay the thing out of existence?

Harry Reid, your first priority is to uphold the Constitution, not go with the majority. Sheesh...it shouldn't even have to be said.

Pelosi and a lot of the others have been bought off by Bush and Cheney and their oil barons!! Oil money can buy anything these days!! Then of course we have "cupcake" Dobson, one more of the Right Wing Perverts that we need to issue game tags on and see who can shoot them first, and that goes for Karl Rove, now there's a gay bar reject if I ever saw one.

Harry Reid's testicles are just where they've always been, in his throat, passing for tonsils.
