Reid on O-Care: “Everybody acknowledges with rare exception that what we did … was terrific”
posted at 7:45 pm on April 6, 2010 by Allahpundit
Via Hengler, the money quote comes at around 1:05; I can’t make out the part omitted in the headline by the ellipsis (“immediate deliberations”?), but I do think it’s cute that he thinks he’ll still be in Congress in “the out years” when the demands to reform ObamaCare inevitably begin. Incidentally, when he says he’s gotten nothing but love from Nevadans despite 62 percent support for repealing the law inside the state and crumbling polls around the country, are we to take it he’s not being hassled by the racist, fascist tea-party brownshirts? That doesn’t sound very Reich-y to me.
It’s a long-ish clip at six minutes but watch to at least the 2:30 mark or you’ll miss him talking about how the Cornhusker Kickback was “terrific for our country.” Meanwhile, in other news today, Massachusetts insurers have temporarily stopped writing new policies because the state won’t let them raise premiums. Nothing to see here, move along.

Perfect!

And then there are a few people who deny that Sen. Reid has dementia, but they are in a minority.
ajacksonian on April 6, 2010 at 9:19 PM
Sorry if someone already did this, I jumped straight to the end.

Oh there’s Granddad seeing supporters under the couch and behind the curtains again.
Shhhhhh! Everybody humor him or he gets cranky.
Lily on April 6, 2010 at 9:23 PM
So he thinks the Unions are going to see him through the next election? Good Luck with that Harry.

Nevertheless, I’m not taking any chances. I slap a condom on the wireless card anytime grow fins shows up in a thread.
Yoop on April 6, 2010 at 9:29 PM
I hope every minute outside of washington DC by this man is spent in fear.
daesleeper on April 6, 2010 at 9:29 PM
He is a sad, strange little man. And he has my pity.

Coburn: “Reid is a good man and a great American.”
farright on April 6, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Yes, there is delusion on both sides of the aisle.

Don’t worry, grow fins has a tiny little connector. Nonetheless, you are wise to practice safe hex, as unprotected contact with grow fins might give your computer a nasty disease.

But was he acting like a lady? I hear he’s very, very fond of that!
ya2daup on April 6, 2010 at 9:35 PM
Reid isn’t really losing his mind; he probably figures “what the hell, I’m outta here anyways, who cares.”
mad scientist on April 6, 2010 at 9:45 PM
Go smoke a pole Harry, you’re only the third worst politician in America at this point.
Third worst in American history is nothing to sneeze at though.
NoDonkey on April 6, 2010 at 10:03 PM
Harry’s been smoking Pelosi goobers.
Cybergeezer on April 6, 2010 at 10:10 PM
Thank you Mr. Reid.
This video will be a great weapon in campaign attack ads against you.
jjrakman on April 6, 2010 at 10:25 PM
This buffoon realy, REALLY doesnt get out much does he.
Koa on April 6, 2010 at 10:28 PM
You ain’t the Lone Ranger on this issue. Once I do get to the point I can navigate around Hot Air it’s all a little slow for me. Still, I need my Hot Air fix!

Usually a refresh, or a complete browser restart gets it running for me.

SG – two different computers, three different ISPs, no problem accessing Hot Air this week at all.
Jaibones on April 6, 2010 at 10:55 PM
I watched this last night.
This man is completely delusional. He has some how convinced himself that he did not ruin our form of government. He needs a psychiatrist!
And…. he went to Salt Lake for General Conference and the people didn’t stone him! Well… that’s news.
And people were nice to him. Well well, Mormons are usually really mean to other people at Conference… just ask anyone. (Do I have to point out that is sarcasm?)
Harry Reid has completely lost his mind! I bet the Mo Tabs sang just for him because he shredded the Constitution!
I can not described how utterly embarrassed I am that this
poor doddering fool shares my religion!
He really,really,sounded old and out of touch with life. But hey his jeans looked well pressed!
And was that a shrine to Obama in his house? Probably just a random black guy, but still it is huge! Who puts a huge face of anyone on a wall that small?
petunia on April 6, 2010 at 11:05 PM
Yes. I have had the exact same problem.
petunia on April 6, 2010 at 11:06 PM
Thanks for the tip, Koa. I’ve been doing exactly that, but being the impatient fool I am my definition of slow starts the second the spinning wheel tells me to wait. But refreshing is good for now. Then I’m going to check into this:
Again, thanks.
Oh, and Dingy Harry is an arrogant liar.
Gang-of-One on April 6, 2010 at 11:08 PM
I hope I don’t get in trouble but I just have to say it…This guy is so full of shit that his eyes are turning brown. What a blatant, unmitigated liar this fool is.
Big John on April 7, 2010 at 12:24 AM
I for one want to thank Harry for finally exposing the progressives and DemCong for what they really are. He actually exposed the whole sordid cesspool we know as Washington, DC. He put it up front and center, right out in the open so everyone could see why we need to clean house as soon as possible, that includes Rs and Ds.
belad on April 7, 2010 at 12:46 AM
This is what happens when you surround yourself with (other)socialist, plainly evil, Obama-bots. He sees what he wants to see, while the country crumbles around him, and the anger and rebellion grows.
Reid is like Grand Moff Tarkin just before the Death Star exploded: “Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?!”
Sterling Holobyte on April 7, 2010 at 12:53 AM
I have to give Greta credit for not coming completely unglued with that interview. She had to know the man was lying with every word he said about the “Cornhusker Kickback” and everyone being so happy now about Obamacare.
I was at the Tea Party in Searchlight and believe me, Harry is not going to be re-elected if we have anything to say about it. One cute sign said “Nevada needs a shave, it is too Harry”. Anybody but Reid. Can’t wait for November.
KCinLV on April 7, 2010 at 1:03 AM
Tell a lie often enough…
Army Brat on April 7, 2010 at 1:29 AM
Are people actually able to approach Reid “on airplane” to be “nice” to him?
Does he travel by “airline” at all?
Right Greta, “different concept” [as in "your, concept, Sen. Reid, is surreal nuts socialist propaganda"]. Gretchen shows this jerk Reid deference he does not deserve.
Speechless?? Yeah, speechless at your disingenuousness, Reid!
Sherman1864 on April 7, 2010 at 2:22 AM
Greta, my bad.
Sherman1864 on April 7, 2010 at 2:23 AM
If you really want to see Harry go down in flames, help this petite lady win the primary.
Sharron occasionally packs a Magnum 44, set state weightlifting records in her day, and is a solid, solid conservative.
She was the only candidate to ride on the back of a Harley into Searchlight, and the only candidate to be invited up on stage by the TEA party entertainers to join their NY, NY chorus line.
Rasmussen now has her in second place, just behind Lowden and in front of Tarkanian.
Check out her web site to see how she was awarded the Ronald Reagan Medal for defending the NV state constitution, all the way to SCOTUS.

Everybody acknowledges with rare exception that Harry Reid is about to … go into a forced retirement.
Hawthorne on April 7, 2010 at 3:45 AM
Senile Senator from Nevada…Harry Reid!
joe btfsplk on April 7, 2010 at 7:10 AM
A shame Boy Harry feels the need to send his dumb@#$% supporters out to vandalize buses of Palin supporters, and to physically threaten others.
MNHawk on April 7, 2010 at 7:49 AM
Senator Reid is clearly living in a bubble – a gas bubble.
RClark on April 7, 2010 at 9:14 AM
There are indeed aliens among us.
kens on April 7, 2010 at 9:30 AM
This just shows how good a job Reid’s handlers are doing at keeping the rabble away from their lord and master.
Keep it up, fellows!
