Harry Ried to GOP: Quit your whining!
I'm not a huge fan of Harry's. He's been... milquetoast. It's nice to see him lashing out.. growing a spine and saying what we wish we could:

""Nevadans employed in casinos and hotels and throughout the state of nevada and on ranches, basically every place have to work hard on holidays, including Christmas, to support their families. The mines don't shut down in nevada on Christmas. People work. They get paid double time a lot of times when they have good contracts, but they work on Christmas holidays. Most people don't get two weeks off on any time, let alone Christmas week....

...people who are lucky enough to have a job in these trying times need to work extra hours to make ends meet. So it's offensive to me and millions of working Americans across this country for any senator to suggest that working through the Christmas holidays is somehow sacrilegious....""

1. You know sometimes I think Washington DC is nothing more than a passle of
spoiled rotten kids high on crack fighting in the cereal aisle of the store.

2. LOL... damn.. pretty apt description..
They seem to have about as much understanding of the plight of ordinary Americans as a kid in the cereal isle as well...
