I meant to link to this earlier. Greenwald launches a scathing criticism of Harry Reid's performance, and it might be a little too nice. Reid is a disaster, and a cowardly one at that. Pelosi isn't exactly a superstar Speaker of the House either.
Can you imagine LBJ or Tip O'Neill having trouble with a twit like W in the White House? They would have W begging them to stop humiliating him. Instead, the D leadership continues to cower to this cartoon of a president and actually help facilitate him in seizing power when it comes to FISA, the Iraq war, the War Powers Act, and the Patriot Act. Then, when a few D Senators take matters into their own hands on a hugely important issue and make a very principled stand, he actually threatens them! Amazing. And sad.
The D leadership is pathetic, and Greenwald is right to call Reid on it.
