Harry Reid blasts GOP, then on cue, apologizes for being a big meanie
The only thing missing is a two hour speech from Joe Biden suggesting an investigation into the authorship.The man who earlier had the great line: "Putting Santorum up as the new reformer is like putting Brownie back in charge of FEMA." turns around and pisses in his boots.
Pitiful!
WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday apologized to 33 Republican senators singled out for ethics criticism in a report from his office titled "Republican Abuse of Power."
"The document released by my office yesterday went too far and I want to convey to you my personal regrets," Reid said in a letter.
"I am writing to apologize for the tone of this document and the decision to single out individual senators for criticism in it."
Reid came under attack Wednesday over the report, which was issued by his staff on Senate letterhead, even as he and fellow Democrats released ethics overhaul proposals.
"Researching, compiling and distributing what amounts to nothing more than a campaign ad on the taxpayers dime raises serious ethical questions," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, one of the lawmakers named.
