Proud to be a Democrat

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Oh... so... proud.

Roland Burris and Harry Reid. Together at last.

(Reid, by the way, wants to remain Senate majority leader until at least 2015. Obama may have been behind the push to seat Burris, but the whole sordid episode has made Reid look bad. Not at bad as Blago, to be sure, but Reid clearly isn't what the Dems need in a leader. His recent support for Ted Stevens doesn't help. In case you missed it, check out Jane Hamsher's great post from yesterday on Reid's various fumbles on Blago-Burris.)
