Why Harry Reid Sucks.....Item #422

clipped from www.politico.com More votes equals more stress for Reid Oh, the burdens of a Democratic supermajority. After eight months in limbo, Al Franken is poised to be sworn in as the 60th Democratic senator — cause for celebration among party activists, the lefty blogosphere and his fellow Democrats planning to give him a hero’s welcome at Tuesday’s caucus lunch. For his part, Reid is doing his best to tamp down expectations that Franken’s seating gives him license to trample the 40 Republicans in the upper chamber. “We have 60 votes on paper,” he told The New York Times on Thursday. “But we cannot bulldoze anybody; it doesn’t work that way. My caucus doesn’t allow it. And we have a very diverse group of senators philosophically. I am not this morning suddenly flexing my muscles.”

He is the most ineffectual majority leader of all time. Mitch McConnell uses him as a boot-scraper daily. It's pathetic.
