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 [after the 2008 election],†Reid added. “You know we’ve had some people who’ve run for office [and] 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.â€

Reid has turned up his criticism on McCain in recent weeks, saying in an interview published last month in The New York Times that he’s been startled by the Arizona Republican’s demeanor since the end of the 2008 presidential campaign.
“My disappointment — no, that’s the wrong word; I’ll try to find a better word,†he said. “My amazement has been John McCain. I thought he’d turn out to be a statesman, work for things. He’s against everything. He’s against everything! He didn’t used to be against everything.â€

Now, I have absolutely no love for Senator McCain, but I have even less for this smarmy little Nevada weasel. According to the story, Little Harry is going to run for reelection. I sure as shit hope he does....

Ol' Harry is struggling, that's for sure.

“The election is over. He should leave Barack Obama alone and join with us to do good things for the country."
This sounds like Lord Zero's "I won", comment. :censored:'em both. Lord Zero claims to want more nuke power plants then shuts down the only viable option of the moment for storing the waste. What an effin moron.

It is my fervent wish that he sees exactly what losing his job is all about.

I could swear that sounds like someone else I know.

McCain was probably slightly irritated by all those knife hilts protruding from his back, Harry, I understand they got in the way a bit when he tried to sit down in chairs with backrests. Not that it isn't time for him to move over and get some new blood in, and this would be a great year to do it, but I certainly hope your campaign goes down in richly-deserved flames at the same time.
Not that he ever should have trusted rat-bastards like you and Dead Ted in the first place, of course, the whole bipartisan approach he pursued seemed to involve walking on his knees over to your side of the aisle to sign on for one really stupid idea after another, and we're pretty tired of it.

Hi,
Isn't it interesting how the libs are trying to deflect the fact they control both houses of congress with bullet proof majorities. Beck said it best when he said the struggle is between true democrats and the progressive (communists) in congress. McCain is one of the biggest wimpos in congress and would compromise most everything so it takes a lot to get him to speak out so strongly. Remember he did not want to educate the public by pointing out BO incessant lies during the campaign.
Reid is flaming out and it won't be long now.
regards,
