Today's QUOTES: ... War Crimes are heinous and intolerable acts that all decent people reject; "anyone suspected of war crimes should be thoroughly investigated"; and War Criminals must not be allowed in any positions of authority . . . . except when the War Crimes in question are committed by Americans, in which case all investigations and accountability must be blocked and those who defended and even approved them are perfectly welcomed in our highest positions of authority ... -- Our political class in a nutshell by Glenn Greenwald, salon.com

Reid vows to lead till at least 2015
By JOHN BRESNAHAN, 1/7/09, Politico

Harry Reid vowed Tuesday that he’ll lead the Senate until 2015 and beyond, ...

The Nevada Democrat, who is up for reelection in 2010, said he’s actually looking forward to being considered a “vulnerable” incumbent then.

“You know, to be honest with you, I hope I am,” he said. “That way, [the Republicans are] going to spend lots of resources on me and leave states we’re looking at. They won’t have as many resources — and we have a lot of targets.”
Not that I trust Politico's reportage, but Reid is really a contemptibly obnoxious and destructive Senator and the Democrats in the Senate are incompetent fools, or worse, for keeping him in the position to do as much harm as he possibly can. For Heaven's sake sack him as Majority Leader and let him join his buddy Lieberman in the anti American Senatorial guerilla trenches supporting all things Republican.
