Harry Reid Disses David Broder

So it appears that Harry Reid is telling the "Dean of the Washington Press Corps" to go Cheney Himself:

"In tomorrow's Washington Post, David Broder, their distinguished senior columnist, certainly not a political conservative, expresses his reservation as a citizen about the steps that we could be about to take," McConnell said.

Reid couldn't have been less impressed. "To focus on a man who has been retired for many years and writes a column once in a while is not where we should be."

(emphasis mine)

David Broder has been highly respected for his writing columns calling liberals DFHs^* and giving a tongue bath to the conservative establishment since the 1960s.

Actually, it's been the same article, written over and over again.

Nice to see that Harry Reid is calling him irrelevant. One wishes that this statement had been made decades ago by hundreds of more people.

Of course Broder is a conservative. He has been a spokesman for the status quo for over 40 years, though his real constituency is the Washington, DC cocktail party circuit.

^*Dirty F$#@ing Hippies.
