Go Harry

For all of his faults one just has to love Harry Reid as a tactical politician. He is a Democrat w/ huevos and a great ability to think outside the box:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a little trick up his sleeve that could spell an end to President Bush's devilish recess appointments of controversial figures like former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton. We hear that over the long August vacation, when those types of summer hires are made, Reid will call the Senate into session just long enough to force the prez to send his nominees who need confirmation to the chamber. The talk is he will hold a quickie "pro forma" session every 10 days, tapping a local senator to run the hall.

Senate workers and Republicans are miffed, but Reid is proving that he's the new sheriff in town.

Take that Karl Rove, you lousy piece of shit.
I also don't believe that Democratic Senate workers are miffed - I bet they would gladly and miss some of their summer vacation to stick it to Bush and Co. {w/ the exception of Joe Liebermann's staff - anyone that would work for that other piece of shit probably would be irritated to give up their week in the Hamptons.}
