[bunkerbuster1]

For God's sake, Harry, stand by what you say! Even if you didn't really mean to say it! This really isn't a good time to be contrite.

LAS VEGAS - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called
President Bush "a loser" during a civics discussion with a group of teenagers at a high school on Friday.

"The man's father is a wonderful human being," Reid, D-Nev., told students at Del Sol High School when asked about the president's policies. "I think this guy is a loser."

Shortly after the event Reid called the White House to apologize, his spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said. Reid spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, asking him to convey the apology to Bush, who was traveling in Europe.

The Nevada Democrat expressed "regret for the comments, that it was inappropriate," Hafen said. Reid was giving a late speech in Salt Lake City and was unavailable for comment, she said.

Asked for comment, a White House spokeswoman referred to a statement issued by the Republican National Committee. RNC spokesman Brian Jones called Reid's statement "a sad development but not surprising from the leader of a party devoid of optimism, ideas or solutions to the issues people care about most."

A sad development, huh?

You know what's sad, Brian Jones? What's sad is that a lazy, incompetent little puke like your boss is in charge of anything bigger than a shoeshine stand. What's sad is that even with approval numbers in the fuckin' TOILET, that the Senate minority leader still feels sufficiently threatened by the current climate that he has to apologize for stating the obvious.
