Reid Clarifies on DADT: ‘We Would Welcome A Legislative Proposal From The White House’

Good news, in a statement to my ThinkProgress colleagues Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has clarified his position on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell:

While we do not have a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell bill introduced in the Senate yet, a number of Senators are working on an approach to get it repealed. We would welcome a legislative proposal from the White House on repeal so as to provide clear guidance on what the President would like to see and when. Working together, I believe we can find the time to get repeal done in this Congress.

Good.

1. That White House proposal is on it's way!

( as soon as swine fly over the frozen landscape of hell.)

3. Well...

4. I do what I can.

2. Dickless Harry to Obama: "Don't make me own this alone." n/t

5. I get Reid and McConnell confused.

I saw him stuttering and stammering in the aftermath of the rightwing blowback over the closing of Gitmo. Is Reid Majority leader in the Senate or Minority Leader?

6. McConnel is the one with no chin. Harry Reid is the one with no balls. n/t

7. DUZY!!

11. That is funny.

They have over 60% public approval on this and still are playing political ping-pong. I guess they have to check their Rush-ometers and have a meeting with the hillbilly caucus. Two weeks from now, they will ask him if he got the letter from the President yet, and he'll start shuffling through papers on the podium and break into tremors. "Uh...uh...no...haven't seen it yet."

8. Wonder why....

I have a problem believing that ball-less Harry is really ready to stand up against the guaranteed all out opposition effort we know will come from the other side of the isle on this issue.

[Ian David]

9. Dickless Harry sounds better than Ball-Less Harry. n/t

10. I don't like the "clarification."

It's only a bit better. He should have said that he'd be willing to work to get it done legislatively, but that he believes it could be done by either the legislative or the executive branch alone.

12. Yawn. So Would I, Harry.

While we're waiting, maybe you get off your ass and introduce one yourself?
