Reid Calls Bush A Loser, Then Calls To Apologize
Just another day in the Howard Dean era of political discourse.
Insults are the last refuge of those who have who have run out of ideas.
Way to set a good example for the kids, Senator. But really, as I pointed out a few days ago when Virginia Congressman called Vice President Dick Cheney an "ass kisser," if you're going to say something like this at least have the guts to stand by it. Don't say it and then immediately apologize or find some other sort of cop-out.
Update:
The White House has issued a response.
LAS VEGAS - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called President Bush "a loser" during a civics discussion with a group of teenagers at a high school on Friday.
The man's father is a wonderful human being," Reid, D-Nev., told students at Del Sol High School when asked about the president's policies. "I think this guy is a loser."
Shortly after the event Reid called the White House to apologize, his spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said. Reid spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, asking him to convey the apology to Bush, who was traveling in Europe.
