Harry Reid to John McCain: 2008 'is over'

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday levied fierce criticism at Sen. John McCain, accusing him of playing petty politics, being stuck in the 2008 presidential campaign season and refusing to do "good things for the country."

Reid, doing a victory lap after President Barack Obama proposed to kill funding for the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada, was asked on a Las Vegas political talk show about McCain’s criticism of Democrats' stand against the nuclear waste dump.

“Well John is a great name-caller,” Reid told host Jon Ralston on the show “Face to Face.” “The election is over. He should leave Barack Obama alone and join with us to do good things for the country."
Reid then twisted the knife further, saying that McCain “has no reason to be the way he is but he’s become very, very – kind of opposed to everything.

“I’m very disappointed in how he’s reacted ,” Reid added. “You know we’ve had some people who’ve run for office lost, who’ve come back and been great statesmen. John Kerry is one example, Al Gore is another, Jimmy Carter. I just think he’s got to get over this and move onto something else.”
A McCain spokeswoman declined to comment. McCain has repeatedly accused the president and Democratic leadership for failing to engage in genuine bipartisan talks and for instead pursuing a partisan agenda.

6. "The election is over."

Harry, Harry, Harry. One of the elementary rules of running your mouth is, don't say something that gives your opponent an obvious comeback. Because you've done it here. All Walnuts! has to do is retort, "Yeah, well, after the 2010 election, you're over!"

7. Actually, as far as McCain goes...

HE may be over, too. He is being primaried by right-wing uber-whacko, JD Hayworth. Things look as bad for him as they do Reid.

8. Basically he's become a bitter old man with nowhere to go.

12. Good for Reid..mcpalin needs to be held accountable

for what he rattles out of his venomous mouth.

13. He's right. McCain is a bitter, petty, small man who isn't happy unless he has

some ax to grind somewhere. His pouting, whining, tantrums and grudges are tiresome.
