The Emperor rebutts David Broder's column

David Broder, that "consevative"? columnist, pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes.

Now, get ready. Put down your coffee. You know how much that hurts when you snort it through your nose while laughing. The Democratic Caucus wrote a complaint editorial letter to the Washington Post. Check out the title. Emphasis throughout has been added.


Sen. Reid's Fine Leadership

We, the members of the Senate Democratic Caucus, contest the attack on Sen. Harry Reid's leadership by David S. Broder in his April 26 column, "The Democrats' Gonzales."
In contrast to Mr. Broder's insinuations, we believe Mr. Reid is an extraordinary leader who has effectively guided the new Democratic majority through these first few months with skill and aplomb.
(and these are the people in charge of the Senate while we're at war? bwhahaha!)
The Democratic caucus is diverse, and Mr. Reid has worked tirelessly to make sure that the views of each member are heard and represented. No one ideology dominates the caucus, so that a consensus can be reached and unity achieved. It is hard to imagine a better model for leadership.
( I'd say that these people have no imagination but look at the creative ways they spin. They definitely have an intense fantasy life.)

Because Mr. Reid has the support of members of the caucus, is a good listener (hasn't he heard a word that anyone has said?) and has an amazing ability to synthesize views and bring people together, (that would be in anger at him) the Senate has accomplished a great deal during his time as majority leader. Armed with his years of service in the Senate and with a mastery of procedure, Mr. Reid has led the chamber with a slim majority and a minority that is, at times, determined to stop legislation with which it disagrees.
(Counting nonbinding resolutions, he has passed....? Stopping legislation? I thought the Dems were in the majority.)
In the first 100 days alone, we made great strides under his leadership on long-neglected legislation concerning stem cell research, the Sept. 11 commission's recommendations and the minimum wage, to name three. (And that's all that you can name. Minimum wage....THAT'S an important issue during wartime.) In addition, under Mr. Reid's leadership, we have fulfilled our obligation, left uncompleted by last year's Republican-led Senate, (Wasn't that blocked by, um, the liberals)to fund the federal government.(PORK, PORK, PORK) He has accomplished all of this in the face of stiff opposition and with a commitment to giving ideas full opportunity for debate.(You think that the secretary that wrote this would understand that people WITH ideas debate. Ideas don't debate.)
Finally, in this age of scripted politicians speaking only to their base (Well they got one right.) or claiming that they "don't recall" (see MANY politicians, including Senators)anything, the fact that Mr. Reid speaks his mind should be applauded, not derided. His brand of straight talk is honest, comes from the heart and speaks directly to the people.
(This I agree with. He IS honestly, and speaking directly, about surrender to terrorism.)
