Obit Watch: Harry Reid « Lawrence Person’s BattleSwarm Blog

It s pretty much the job of the Senate Majority Leader to be the Bad Cop and hated by the opposition, but there was just something repugnant and unpleasant about late Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who just died at age 82. Certainly Chuck Schumer is no improvement, but still&

Democrats probably love him for ramming through ObamaCare and the initial 2009 Porkulus. Reid (like all Democrats) supported lots of horrible legislation (remember SOPA/PIPA, possibly the first and last time the Internet as a whole rose up to slap down bad legislation?), but that s not it. Nor is it his hatred of the Tea Party or gun owners. Or his proud manifest lies about Mitt Romney s tax return. Or even his reported Mafia ties.

In the spirit of saying nothing but good of the dead, I will note that Harry Reid was one of the few public officials to push hard for release of information about UFO’s, which are fascinating and consequential, it turns out. So there’s that.

Also, I object to the implication that reptiles are somehow morally inferior to mammals. Furthermore, reptiles are not slimy. You’re thinking of amphibians perhaps.
