David S. Broder is the dean of Washington political reporters. Writing in the Washington Post online, Broder says that Reid is "a continuing embarrassment thanks to his amateurish performance." Later in the same article he concludes with respect to Reid's pronouncements on Iraq "It has been impossible for his own members, let alone the White House, to sort out for more than 24 hours at a time what ground Reid is prepared to defend."
If all this isn't enough, Reid has been slammed by the Las Vegas Sun, the newspaper of the largest city in his state. Another of my favorite political columnists, Michael Barone, says "The Republican congressional leaders, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are pretty steady guys. And I think Nancy Pelosi has been pretty steady too. But Reid is something else. "
However, if history is any guide, we will be subject to his ineptitude for several more years.
