so called ethics problems.

15. John Solomon has an obsession with Reid

Been wondering why John Solomon of AP just keeps writing articles about Harry Reid. None of his stuff sticks. He tries very hard to make controversy where there really is none. And, Harry Reid is two-steps ahead of Solomon every time. Josh Marshall offers an explanation for Solomon's obsession:

snip-

Now correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't it the job of editors to make sure the work of their reporters is to report, not to have vendettas against public officials? Solomon's reporting on Reid is bordering on the absurd....actually, it has become absurd. Reporters are used to dealing with unethical Republicans who hide their behavior and blame others. On the other hand, Harry Reid goes beyond the ethical requirements. So Solomon is foiled again.

8. Yeah, but the GOP and MSM will keep hammering it til election day

Someone needs to step in and defuse this latest swiftboat tactic.

7. did they pretty much use his articles verbatim or did they decide

to burn a little shoe leather themselves and look into it?

12. Burn shoe leather? You kidder you! nt

13. i know, crazy right?

[OzarkDem]

6. The only downside to this

is that the GOP was smart enough to target one of the most spineless Dems for a smear campaign.

Reid is completely bereft of any skills in knowing how to defend himself.

Maybe Howard Dean can step in and take over Reid's response and PR campaign on this faux scandal.

10. Bullies are skilled at picking out the most vulnerable.

We keep hearing how Reid is a boxer with street smarts.

It would be really nice if he'd pull that side of him out of mothballs and USE IT!!

[OzarkDem]

11. I can't figure him out

I think he's just lazy and dull, period.

This should put to rest any ideas of keeping him on as leader of the Dems in the Senate when they win a majority.

9. Solomon=Jeff Gerth

he has NO credibility whatsoever

Fools for Scandal, all over again

pathetic
