go yourself
...the Democratic party?
Reid calls president 'loser'Reid calls president "loser"
It's getting routine. Say something inflammatory to the public or media and then quietly admit you crossed the line and apologize to the White House.
Which party was that Senator in?
Originally posted by The Ressurrected One: Seriously, is there any civility left in...the Democratic party?In response to Cheney, Leahy reminded Cheney that the vice president had once accused him of being a bad Catholic, to which Cheney replied either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself."![]()
en Senate Minority leader apologizing to Rove. What a Joke.After the statement was released, Reid phoned the Review-Journal to acknowledge he thought he crossed the line.
"You know the president is in Europe, probably sleeping," Reid said in an interview this afternoon. "But I called (Karl) Rove and apologized for what I said."
Just in case you haven't figured out who is really in charge at 1600 Pen Ave.

public statement vs. private conversation.
I'm waiting for Dubya's apology to the American people.
or, talking to some high schoolers vs. on the senate floorpublic statement vs. private conversation.
Leahy did need to go himself.
Bush is a loser

"go yourself"
yep, it's just the democrats who are less civil. only on one side. you're right, again.
Blah, blah, blah. Let Reid feed the yipping libs red meat.
Behind closed doors, he's a Dem who will actually get things done with the Republicans.
I just can't manufacture any outrage about this.
I'm not outraged...I just wanted to point out, once again, who the true partisans are.
And, Reid's no better than the other 'rats.
Those damned kettles.I just wanted to point out, once again, who the true partisans are.
Really?
Name an instance where the President of the United States or his spokespeople have stood in front of an audience and told them a ranking member of the Democratic Party was a "loser" or any other such denigrating remark?
I mean, jeeze, this stuff has been coming from the Democrats for the past 5 years...From Al Gore to John Kerry to Nancy Pelosi to Terry McAuliffe to Howard Dean and, now, the "civil one" among the - this Reid guy. It's non-stop.
It seems no one is immune from incivility in the Democratic Party.
The President has been called a liar, a loser, a dullard, etc...from just about every ranking member of the Democratic Party with the possible exception of Joe Lieberman.
Don't tell me problem is as pervasive in the Republican camp because, it isn't. Yeah, I'm sure there have been instances where a Republican has said something nasty about a Democrat, but, really, if you look over the past several years...it's pretty much been restricted to Democrats...
And, Vice President Cheney telling Patrick Leahy to "go himself," face-to-face in a conversation the Vice President neither meant to be overheard or rebroadcast is a bit different than this Reid guy standing in front of an audience of young people and calling the President, who is out of the country representing us all at the moment, a "loser."
"im not an asshole. you are."
all of you shut the up already. no one gives a about this except for inbred rabbit ers such as yourselves.
Are you going to cry about it?
no.
are you going to masturbate yourself to sleep again tonight?
yes.
There's some pretty good BS coming from the republicans too.
Both can sling it pretty good.
It's funny because Bush insists that terror is a priority.
People are so used to seeing "terror alert: yellow, elevated" on cnn that they forget there was once a day when terror wasnt a priority.
Do you really believe that seeing the word terror and hearing the word terror from the major spokesperson of our country does not have a subconscious effect on the receiver? Not to mention the feeble-minded republicans who are republicans just for the sake of keeping their wealthy parents from paying more taxes.
It does things to people. Bush is a flat out loser. The anti-bush people may seem to contradict themselves but i believe it all stems from their sheer hatred of his stupid loser ass, and of those who blindly support him. They just get baffled that someone really does think bush belongs on Mt. Rushmore that it totally turns their mind upside down.
Let's have an example of a Republican slamming a Democrat publicly.
You must not have been watching or listening during the last presidential campaign.![]()
How about when Dan Burton (R) Ind., referred to President Clinton as a "s bag"?
Who cares? He slams President Bush publicly, but then privately does a little horse trading and voila! one of Bush's judicial nominees gets approved. The lefties get so jolly touching themselves over his inconsequential rhetoric that they don't notice he's actually working with the President.
Reid is about 100 quadrillion times better than Daschle. I can't imagine a better scenario than having somebody as socially conservative as Reid leading the Dems in the Senate. The guy might be willing to help rip the heart out of Roe v. Wade if given the right concessions in return.
