it must be very frustrating and probably a little scary

when the old tried and true tricks just don't work anymore. republicans' phony outrage amd demands that democrats do this or that or even apologize are just getting them more jabs to the nose from the old boxer:

Unfazed Harry Reid Keeps Hammering Romney On Taxes

The fierce pushback from Republicans against Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) appears to only be fueling his quest to tear down Mitt Romney over his finances. The Senate majority leader is telegraphing that he has no interest in letting up.

The latest salvo in the intensifying spat comes from Reid’s chief of staff David Krone, who upped the taunts by calling Republicans “a bunch of cowards” and “henchmen for Romney” in an interview with Politico late Sunday night....

“It’s a boxer’s instinct,” Reid’s spokesman Jentleson told the New York Times. “You find your opponent’s weak spot, and until he finds a defense, you keep pounding it.”
