Jeepers, if Bernie Goldber says it, then that must mean Harry Reid has to disprove it.

Bernie Goldberg: ‘The Word Is Out That Harry Reid Got Rich by Pimping Out Hos’:

Yes, we all know that politics ain’t beanbag and that politicians can make sewer rats look good by comparison. But what kind of person can simply smile when he’s called such vile names? The word psychopath comes to mind.

If some drunk said what Harry Reid said in a bar, who cares? But this is the leader of the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. And he made his remarks not in a bar, but on the floor of the Senate. That takes a really, really special person.

I can understand why, as the political hack that he is, he would want to change the subject from slow growth and high unemployment to Mitt Romney’s tax returns. I can also understand why he’d want to focus attention on anybody but himself since he’s the leader of a party that can’t pass a budget and keeps racking up deficits to the tune of more than $1 trillion a year.

And it’s a safe bet that Harry didn’t come up with this all by himself. He clearly was just the dim-witted front man for the Obama campaign. So far, not one of the president’s top political advisors has renounced Harry Reid’s unsubstantiated comments. And they’ve been given plenty of opportunity.
