Harry Reid must have a political death wish - or is this guy really this stupid?







Immigration reform critics are seizing on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comments this week that seemed to downplay the number of illegal immigrants working construction jobs in Nevada, even though a recent study found that his home state had the largest percentage of undocumented workers in the country.

When a reporter from KLAS-TV in Las Vegas told Reid a 2009 Pew Hispanic Center report found 17 percent of the nation’s construction workers were undocumented, the Nevada Democrat replied: “That may be some place, but it’s not here in Nevada.”

Political opponents have tried to twist Reid’s words, saying he believes there are no illegal workers in Nevada. But Reid spokesman Jim Manley on Wednesday clarified his boss’ comments, saying the majority leader was simply disputing the reporter’s statistic and did not say the state has zero illegal workers.

...- or is this guy really this stupid?

The answer is "yes, he is". He was probably a test subject for a stupid pill that had unintended side effects.

Harry Reid is an embarrassment to the people of Nevada.

He reminds me of someone who, as a kid, got wedgied and swirlied a lot.

Of course his counterpart, the "honorable" Nancy Pelosi, is no better.

How that pair of blundering boobs ever got a job, let alone the most powerful positions in this country, is beyond me.
