Ezekiel 25:17

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men..."

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is gettin' all up in the president's grill. It's making for some good reality TV.

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid questioned President Bush's honesty on Tuesday and said he wanted "the boys at the White House" to know he wasn't losing any sleep over the Republican Party labeling him an obstructionist.

It was the second straight day the Nevada Democrat grew animated in response to the GOP criticism, and he said, "When you have a real bad chafe, is that what they call it, it's hard to get soothed."

The object of Reid's ire was a lengthy RNC document headlined "Sen. Minority Leader Determined to Obstruct President Bush's Agenda."

The White House refused to denounce the attack. "You can talk to the Republican National Committee about what they did. I'm not familiar with all the aspects of what they're doing," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. The RNC is chaired by Bush's former campaign manager and works closely with White House officials to advance the president's legislative agenda.

Are we meant to believe that the president doesn't know what the RNC is up to? Isn't he, you know, the head of the Republican party? I'm pretty sure I remember him winning an election recently or something. The RNC isn't some rogue terrorist agency that Sydney Bristow is trying to infiltrate. I think they're even listed in the phone book! You have a phone, don't you, Mr. McClellan? Sure you do...

By coincidence, Reid and his wife were Bush's guests at a small White House dinner on Monday night. The president broached the subject of the RNC criticism, Reid said, adding, "That was a private conversation I'm not going to discuss."

Ooooh... How much fun would that dinner have been?

Reid: Could you pass the salt? (asshole)

Bush: What was that?

R: Uh... Nothing! Do you have the salt down there? (lying prick)

B: I'm sure I heard something that time.

R: Must have been a passing airplane.

B: I don't think they let airplanes pass over the White House anymore.

R: Strange. So! Laura, you look great! (you married a lying shill for extremist religious freaks and polluting multi-billionaire corporate bastards)

B: Now, you just wait a gall-durn minute!

Ah, to be a fly on the wall...
