Harry Reid Loses Again

Harry Reid is the Detroit Lions of politics. The dude somehow weaseled his way into the Senate leadership chair and has proven to be the most ineffective leader in decades. Now he gets outsmarted by a politically impotent, impeached, corrupt governor who for all intents and purposes shouldn't even still be in office

The Roland Burris saga is over, as Democratic Senate leaders have accepted his credentials, clearing the way for him to be sworn in as the junior senator from Illinois by the end of this week.

The decision ends an embarrassing chapter in Democratic politics and allows the Senate to move on after the Burris spectacle dominated the opening week of the 111th Congress

In a statement issued after a 45-minute meeting between Senate officials and Burris’ lawyers, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) said Burris is the senator-designate from Illinois now that the secretary of the Senate has approved his latest credentials.

Congratulations Senator Reid, you've now proven that even a complete imbecile can become a Senator if they play the shady game well. You've also once again proven that no matter how much of a moron one is, the Democrats will make him their leader.
