Majority leader Harry Reid is pretty pissed off that another old leftist doesn't see eye to eye with him on the health care debate. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's comment that even the liberal Washington Post columnist David Broder has some reservations about how the health care reform bill the Democrats announced is looking made Reid prune up just like his juice. David Broder is said to have some "reservations as a citizen" about the proposed bill. When this was brought up to Harry Reid he with all the self restraint he has said, "to focus on a man who has been retired for many years and writes a column once in a while is not where we should be. Where we should be, is recognizing that America deserves a debate on health care reform." Now this can be expected by the old coot but what strikes me as interesting is 1. Reid actually responded to the Minority Leader and 2. What in the world are politicians doing responding to a journalist. I thought it was suppose to be the other way around. This just goes to show that the main stream media still has a position to say they are the fourth branch of the government. I'm just glad that Reid and McConnell have time to worry about what some reporter said.
