Harry, Save Your Breath

I like to fret over the meaningless rhetoric which incessantly flows from the mouths of the Republicans. However, the Democrats are just as good at it at times. Take, for example, the newly-elevated Senate Minority Leader Nevada Senator Harry Reid. In his party's weekly address to the nation, Reid implored the parties not to let partisanship and politics get in the way of helping Americans with health care, education and jobs.

Please, stop, Harry! I can't take it right now.

"Americans are counting on us- Republicans and Democrats- to keep our promise on Social Security." I don't know about you, but I could never have gotten these words out. Does Senator Reid think for a minute there is any shred of hope that there will be even a scintilla of bipartisanship or any other form of cooperation in the next Bush term? Can he be so naive? Why is he speaking these nonsensical phrases? They are only a fantasy.
