Your daily douchebag (1/12/07)

Today's Daily Douchebag is a bit of a surprise: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

"A Democrat?! Surely not." Turns out that just because you aren't a Republican doesn't mean you can't be a jackass politician. His crime? Fighting tooth and nail against an earmarking reform amendment. Not only that, the earmarking amendment just so happens to be exactly the same as the one proposed by Pelosi in the House since a clever Mr. Jim DeMint from South Carolina (a Republican! Maybe they do remember what "fiscal conservative" actually means...) took the House language and plopped it verbatim into the Senate amendment.

So, well done Mr. Reid. Thank god we have someone fighting against meaningful reform.
