From the Review-Journal:
In the course of a discussion on filibusters and Senate rules, Washington’s top Democrat gave the 60 juniors a lesson in partisan politics, particularly about the commander in chief. “The man’s father is a wonderful human being,” Reid said in response to a question about President Bush’s policies. “I think this guy is a loser […]”
[…] Republican National Communications Director Brian Jones issued a statement calling the senator’s comments “a sad development but not surprising from the leader of a party devoid of optimism, ideas or solutions to the issues people care about most.”
After the statement was released, Reid phoned the Review-Journal to acknowledge he thought he crossed the line.
“You know the president is in Europe, probably sleeping,” Reid said in an interview this afternoon. “But I called (Karl) Rove and apologized for what I said.”
Reached for comment, Mr. Rove downplayed the phonecall. “Harry is just being Harry,” Rove said. “I informed the esteemed gentleman from Nevada that the President passes kidney stones bigger than him. The senator responded by calling me a ‘stupid-headed dorkface who is also a great big jerky jerk.’ Then he hung up. Later on he prank-called to ask if my refrigerator was running. Just like he does every week. Which I guess is the kind of behavior one expects from a lonely and shriveled old liberal who is facing the prospect of spending three more years as my bitch.”

I dare say Bush has gotten into his opponents’ heads more thoroughly than any president in modern history.
“I think this guy is a loser […]â€Â
Glass houses, stones, etc.
If the Republicans are smart, they’ll laugh this off instead of feigning outrage. When the other side is reduced to name-calling, it’s pretty obvious you’ve got them rattled.
I agree, actually. I’m not outraged over this at all. It’s both sad and predictable.
Now Laura Bush’s descent into pornography, on the other hand…that has me angry. The dirty whore—maybe a little SOAP ON YOUR TONGUE WILL CLEAN OUR THAT FILTHY MOUTH OF YOURS, EH BITCH?
No no no. Laura is a Mom I’d Like to F-f-f-flirt with. She has done nothing a long hard spanking can’t mend, the naughty, naughty girl.
Considering that prominent Dems include such puritans as Robin Williams and Margaret Cho, any Democrat who’s pretending to be outraged at Laura Bush’s blue humor is just being peevish, for simple reason:
Laura Bush just turned into a MILF—which further erodes any appeal in switching to the donkey wing.
Well, Jeff, I don’t know which is worse:
Either you don’t mind the idiotic commercial you’re required to watch to get to the DAOU Report, or you subscribe to Salon.
But, I guess, someone has to endure the pain to monitor the idiots…
Thanks.
I’m not a particularly conspiracy-minded individual, but there is no way you can convince me that Reid isn’t a Rove plant.
The man is just too STOOOOOPID to be real.
Harry takes careful aim and empties a full clip into his own ass.
Smartly done!
Kidney stones. I just spit my cheap wine all over my LCD.
Thanks.

Of course but what the democrate are really trying desperately to point out is that the republicans, all of them, are hypocrites. because if they’re hypocritical about making jokes about horse cock, clearly they’re hypocritical when they say want this country to be a better place, when clearly they want this country to be destroyed and replaced by a global Bush caphiate (sp).
