Breaking: Ah, THAT Explains A Lot

Harry Reid spoke to reporters this afternoon on earmarks. His comments were, to say the least, interesting. To say more than the least, they are revealing.

Harry Reid first said that "we have a constitutional duty" to approve earmarks. Then he revealed a lot when he made this statement:

"I can't understand why more conservative members want to give up their power."

As you can see, it's not about responsible governing, for the Senate's top Democrat, it's all about what power he and his cronies can gather to themselves. And he can't understand why anybody would choose NOT to put their own personal power ahead of the welfare of the country.

WONDERFUL guys we have in charge up there, eh?
