Give 'Em Hell, Harry

I love how the “experts” fail to see the forest for the trees.

Earlier this week, Minority Leader Harry Reid used a Senate rule that allowed him to call a closed session of the Senate. The public, cameras, and those without the proper security clearances had to get out. In a nutshell, here's why he called for the closed session: Democrats have been asking for an investigation into how faulty and fraudulent intelligence has beed used by the Bush administration to make the case for the war in Iraq. Republicans have been stalling and dragging their feet in getting such an investigation going. So Reid basically did some behind closed doors ass chewing, demanding answers.

So how has this been reported?

That Reid “shut down” the Senate and Democrats are being “obstructionists”.

Uh, what?

The exact OPPOSITE happened! Reid got the Senate to do its fucking job! You know how in a movie, when someone isn’t focused, someone else slaps the shit out of them? THAT’S what happened. And it worked.

Using the phrase "shut down" in this case is just stupid, and I see Democrats using it just as much as Republicans. It relays the wrong message to Joe Average about what really happened.

So cut it out.
