Brings Libby back into the MSM media coverage too.

Give em hell, Harry!!!!!!!

[jaxx]

5. Go get em Harry!!

[Arkana]

6. I have had faith in Reid's leadership from the beginning

and I'm glad to see my trust was validated.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. I wish I could say the same.

I've liked him fine as a Senator, but my initial thought on him being Minority Leader was "Great - another red state Senator that won't be able to fight when we need him to." Hot damn has he proven me wrong. Not only does he fight, but he's brilliant in doing so. I am very much on the Harry Reid Bandwagon.

[IndyOp]

49. I put my trust in Barbara Boxer, who said that we would like Reid -

and I am in LOVE -- :loveya:

If you have not read it, this New Yorker article about Reid is a must:
Minority Retort

Reid seems, at first, an unlikely choice for party leader in the Senate, especially given the tradition of men like Lyndon Johnson, whose method of leadership was to cajole and threaten his colleagues. Reid doesn’t have the sort of domineering personality that L.B.J. had; in fact, despite an occasionally quick temper, he can seem almost shy. But, if Reid is no Johnson, he has, unlike his immediate predecessor, Tom Daschle, of South Dakota, or Frist, been able to keep his party largely united. That is due, in part, to his attentiveness; he is in constant contact with colleagues, and even reserves a pocket in his suit for their written requests. Susan McCue says that Reid is always assessing a person’s vulnerabilities in order to “disarm, to endear, to threaten, but most of all to instill fear.” And Reid has made it plain that there are consequences for stepping out of line.

<snip>

As George W. Bush has learned, Harry Reid does not ignore slights. “I believe in vengeance,” he once told a reporter. In May, he began a commencement address at George Washington University Law School by saying that the last time he had set foot on the campus was January, 1964—the year he graduated from the school. “I’ve been holding a grudge,” he said. Law school was difficult. “We managed to get by, but just barely,” he said. At one point, while Landra was pregnant with their second child and he was working six days a week as a Capitol police officer, the transmission of their car, a 1954 Buick Special, broke down. He was desperate. “No car,” he continued. “No way to get to work. Too many bills.” When he approached a dean for help, he recalled, the dean said, “ ‘Why don’t you just quit law school?’ I don’t remember exactly what I thought he would say, but that was not it,” he said. “Since that day, I’ve harbored ill will toward this school.”

<snip>

In July of 1978, a man named Jack Gordon, who was later married to LaToya Jackson, offered Reid twelve thousand dollars to approve two new, carnival-like gaming devices for casino use. Reid reported the attempted bribe to the F.B.I. and arranged a meeting with Gordon in his office. By agreement, F.B.I. agents burst in to arrest Gordon at the point where Reid asked, “Is this the money?” Although he was taking part in a sting, Reid was unable to control his temper; the videotape shows him getting up from his chair and saying, “You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!” and attempting to choke Gordon, before startled agents pulled him off. “I was so angry with him for thinking he could bribe me,” Reid said, explaining his theatrical outburst. Gordon was convicted in federal court in 1979 and sentenced to six months in prison.

One day in 1981, Landra Reid noticed that the family station wagon was not running properly, and she discovered a cable under the hood and “something” sticking out of the gas tank. Police found a device that would have exploded had it been correctly grounded. Reid always blamed Gordon for the bomb, and the incident frightened his family—by then there were five children, four sons and a daughter—so that for a year they started the car by remote control. Gordon died in April, at the age of sixty-six, and his connection to the bombing attempt was never proved. McCue, Reid’s chief of staff, says that the episode changed Reid. Whatever the issue, she says, his approach is always “No one is going to kill me over this.”

7. Hijacking the Senate capitalizes on Republican stupidity !

The Repubican leadership was caught with their pants down and now must answer some questions.

The War Powers Act of 1973 was violated. Someone must answer for that. You don't lie to Democrats ! Loyal Republicans must choose: Loyalty to Bush or to the Constitution and the people of the USA !

Choose, you egotistical fine-haired sons-of-bitches !

[Bouncy Ball]

15. "You don't lie to Democrats."

Damn straight.

You don't lie to the American people as a whole, either. That's just SHITTY.

[EVDebs]

18. "Fight, for 'ole DC" Dems on the warpath

Dems on the warpath, hail victory !

"Hail to the Democrats!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!

Fight for old D.C.!
Run or pass and score -- we want a lot more!
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em,
Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!

Hail to the Democrats!
Hail Victory!
Democrats on the Warpath!
Fight for old D.C.!"

When you've got the ball, RUN WITH IT !

[Lochloosa]

8. Hammity is having a fit....

Anyone that pisses him off this much you have to love...:evilgrin:

[Bouncy Ball]

33. Yep!

Go HARRY, GIVE 'EM HELL!

God, I wish this were reflected in tonight's The Daily Show, but I know they tape it in the afternoon. Gonna have to wait until tomorrow. Can't wait to see what JS has to say.

[Mass]

9. Great - I am so happy that he did that

And thanks to those Democratic Senators who supported and made that happen as well.

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Bouncy Ball]

11. GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY.

Do the work of the PEOPLE.

[underpants]

12. OIN Sunday you would have thought he was a Sunday school teacher

Not today.

Rock ON Harry

[Fleshdancer]

13. Do you know what this MEANS??!!??

It appears as if our Democratic leaders had a...what's that word?...um..hold on, it's on the top of my tongue...a..a...a PLAN! That's it! They actually had a plan! AND this plan wasn't even leaked before it was executed.

This reeks of organization and unity and I do believe that loud popping noise is the sound of DUer heads exploding. I'm shocked I still have the ability to type right now.

[indigo32]

14. Rock On

Harry Reid

[LeftNYC]

16. Give 'em Hell Harry...nt

[Jane Austin]

17. First the way he torpedoed Miers by "endorsing" her

and now this.

He's our answer to Rove, without the sleazy dishonesty.

:loveya:



Edited to add floaties.:)

[Bouncy Ball]

31. I was wary of him at first, but have been very quietly observing him

for a while and I have to say, even before today, I've been very impressed by Sen. Reid.

[Rowdyboy]

19. Right man in the right job at the right time.....

I think the world of Harry Reid

[EVDebs]

20. Fighting against the 'wrong war, wrong time, wrong place !' n/t

[Arkana]

21. If I had to compare Reid to anyone, I'd have to compare him to

Bruce Banner.

Calm, peaceful, unassuming, soft-spoken...but you wouldn't like him when he's angry.

[Beaverhausen]

22. Gimme an "H"

[Bouncy Ball]

[LittleClarkie]

34. GIVE EM HELL HARRY!!!!!!!

I love it, I love it, I love it.

[Francine Frensky]

37. "I'm just going to tell the truth and they'll think it's hell."

Harry Truman

[FreedomAngel82]

42. Yep!

Maybe Harry Reid is reincarnated from Harry Truman. ;) I think the quote is "I don't give them hell, I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

[NVMojo]

35. Thank, YOU, for giving em HELL, HARRY!!!!

[Opusnone]

36. We've got your back Harry

I'm in DC and will march into the city tomorrow.
Any ideas for a new meme for my sign?

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Yes!

I've been a fan of Harry's since I saw him back in December on "Meet the Press" about Social Security. He's a great leader. I was a bit pissed about his bankruptcy vote and at first with Miers but I realized what he was doing with Miers. Karl Rove has met his match with Harry!

[MN ChimpH8R]

43. Harry is the man right now

He faked out and sucker punched the Miers nomination and let the Repigs hang themselves, and now this bold stroke. Harry has something up his sleeve or he wouldn't have bitch-slapped Frist this way. :popcorn:

[Greybnk48]

44. Speak softly, but carry a big ole stick!!!

Way to go Harry!!

[DeafAngelboy23]

45. It was great!!!

It is a start to annoy Republicans!

[deadparrot]

46. Give 'em hell, HARRY!!

I have chill bumps - I'm so excited!

[WI_DEM]

52. To think we had to put up with Daschle all those years

Harry Reid is a real leader.

[MoonRiver]

53. He's always reminded me of Harry Truman!

Now more than ever! GIVE EM HELL HARRY!!!
:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

[PA Democrat]

54. Did anyone catch Frist wistfully lamenting that the FORMER minority

leader would have never done this to him. Bet those Rebubs rue the day they targeted Daschle!

What a whiner Frist looked like all puffed up about how insulted he was that Reid would call for a closed session. After all, we KNOW what a stand-up guy Fristie-boy is. :puke:

[EC]

55. I wish they would do this daily

keep this administration from doing absolutely anything...

:applause:

[Tuesday_Morning]

56. You rock, Harry! Thank you! n/t

[sellitman]

57. Anyone miss Daschle now?

I didn't think so!

[ClayZ]

58. I love Harry Reid!

Now there is a Truthseeker!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[grace0418]

59. Harry Reid! YOU ROCK!

Now if the rest of the Dems can do the same we'll get the ball rolling. There are an awful lot of POS Repubs that need to be in jail. We need to get started.

[bunny planet]

60. I just called his office. Told his staff Harry made me hopeful and honored

to be a Democrat today. Keep it up Senators.
My son's name is Harry, I just told him there is a Senator named Harry who did us proud in DC this afternoon.

[Festivito]

61. Thank you.

Please do much much more.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

62. KICK!
