The Three Stooges: Reid Now Competing with Pelosi & Biden for Gaffer-in-Chief of the Democrats

Harry Reid may have Barack-O coming to Nevada to help him drum up a mountain of cashfor his Senate race in 2010, but BHusseinO didn't help Dingy Harry much with an offhand remark about keeping high-rollers out of Vegas recently. Now Harry has displayed the sort of cavalier carelessness that the puffed-up overconfident Democrats demonstrate whenever they have both houses of Congress under their thumb [plus a POTUS in the White House].

Reid went far beyond his brief on Guantanamo after routinely flubbing a couple of ground balls about the health of Sens. Kennedy and Byrd,

[manglingl his party's position on the congressional news of the day, that Senate Democrats would join their House counterparts in withholding the money President Barack Obama needs to close the Guantanamo Bay prison until Obama comes up with a plan for relocating its prisoners.
But Reid went further than saying he wanted to see a plan for the money before Congress approves it. "We will never allow terrorists to be released into the United States," he said.
No one, of course, was talking about releasing terrorism suspects among the American populace. Imprisoning them, perhaps, but not releasing them.
"Part of what we don't want is them be put in prisons in the United States," Reid clarified but digging himself into a bigger hole by departing significantly from some of his colleagues and administration officials. "We don't want them around the United States."
Did the administration put Democrats in an awkward position, asking for the money before setting out how it would be spent?
"Not at all," said Reid.
"Yes," his deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin replied to the same question.
Even the post-gaffe handling of Reid's remarks was awkward. Spokesman Jim Manley, who previously worked for Kennedy for years, swept through the press gallery to clean up after his boss. He retracted Reid's assessment of Kennedy's condition. He clarified Reid's comments about the Guantanamo Bay prison.

The Three Stooges atop the Dem Party hierarchy may be joined soon by the Alpha-"Mutt" [by his own description] if Barack keeps his own teleprompter mishaps continuing the way they have recently.
