Coward Harry Reid's Senility Strikes Again

Does anybody but Coward/Senile/Liar/Pathetic Harry Reid seems this as a bit strange?
From the Las Vegas Sun:
It’s only Tuesday, but it's shaping up to be one of President Barack Obama’s roughest weeks on the job.
The White House is fighting back the flames of three scandals: The Internal Revenue Service is accused of targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status; Republicans are out to prove the administration tried to cover up what happened during the embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya; and general public vitriol is pouring down on the Justice Department, which secretly collected two months of phone records from the Associated Press as part of a leak investigation, it was revealed Monday.
Enter Obama’s top congressional ally, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who stepped in to help by stepping in front of the cameras....
“What the IRS did of course is inexcuseable. But this is not the first time we’ve seen this,” Reid said, recalling that liberal organizations ranging from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to Greenpeace had been targeted by the IRS.....

So, Reid excuses the behavior of the IRS and it's spying on private U.S. citizens and groups, especially conservatives, but it was wrong for the DOJ to spy on the press, especially the liberal press.
Anybody else see the flaw in Senile Reid's reasoning?
Senile Harry, why don't you just crawl into the corner of your condo at the Ritz Carlton, suck your thumb and wait for the devil to take you away.
