From the LVRJ: With senators bustling about the Senate floor in advance of a vote Thursday, Majority Leader Harry Reid took a rather direct route to restore order.
He told them to “sit down and shut up.”
The Nevada Democrat stepped in with a raised voice as presiding Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., was trying to gavel senators quiet so Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., could speak on the vote being held on a transportation bill.
“Madam President, Madam President,” Reid called out to Baldwin. “Have senators sit down and shut up, OK?” http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/government/reid-makes-some-noise-tells-fellow-senators-shutTwo things stick out.
First, how embarrassing is it that a liberal senator from Wisconsin could not even get some senators to be quiet and needed another person to help her out. That's not what you call leadership.
And second, Senile/Coward/Liar Reid needs to take his own advice- sit down and shut up. Just about every time he opens his mouth, he embarrasses himself, but more importantly, the State of Nevada and the people he supposedly represents.
