Harry Reid just can't win (except beating Sharron Angle). He makes a secret trip to China that produced little or no results. And then on the way back, he pisses off the governor of Guam.
From the Washington Post: It’s unclear whether the Reid and McConnell codels succeeded in making any friends in Asia, but they clearly managed to antagonize some folks even before they got to the mainland.
Seems Guam Gov. Eddie Calvo (R) is “livid” that neither the Reid nor McConnell codels — arriving in Guam about the same time last weekend for a refueling stop — bothered to meet with local officials.
“These U.S. senators, both Democrat and Republican, have decided to thumb their noses at the island and its government,” the governor said in a news release, according to the Guam Pacific Daily News. Calvo said using Guam as a “pit stop” is unacceptable.
Other local officials from both parties weighed in with similar statements.

Maybe Reid thought they were to important to meet with the little people. After all, you know how Harry feels about us smelly little people:
