Two weeks ago<\/a>, Senate Minority Leader [tag]Harry Reid[\/tag] (D-Nev.) labeled [tag]George W. Bush[\/tag] “the worst president this country has ever had<\/a>.” Last week, [tag]Reid[\/tag] was at it again, describing [tag]Bush[\/tag] as “[tag]dangerously incompetent[\/tag]<\/a>,” and adding, “‘Stay the course, mission accomplished, bring ’em on,’ the American people are sick of that. We need to change course in Iraq. \u2026 I think the president burying his head in the sand is not going to do the trick.”<\/p>\n

Today, U.S. News & World Report notes<\/a> that Reid doesn’t hold his GOP colleagues in particularly high regard either.<\/p>\n

Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, makes no bones about disliking most of his GOP colleagues. “[tag]Republicans[\/tag] in the Senate,” he says, “do not represent mainstream Republicans in this country. Mainstream Republicans in this country are more moderate and more thoughtful than the people I work with who are in the majority in the Senate.” Ouch.<\/p>\n

Well, of the 55 GOP-ers, he’s gotta like a few, right? “Someone asked me the other day,” he says, “‘Who are the [tag]moderate[\/tag] Republicans?’ Hmm. Well, you’ve got Lincoln Chafee [of Rhode Island], sometimes the two senators from Maine [Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins], and [tag]Arlen Specter[\/tag] [of Pennsylvania] whenever you don’t need him. That’s it.” Double ouch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
