Q: How will U.S. Sen. (Edward) Kennedy's death affect things?
A: I think it's going to help us. He hasn't been around for some time. We're going to have a new chairman of that committee, it'll be, I don't know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd, (D-Conn.). He has a right to take it. Either him or (U.S. Sen. Tom) Harkin, (D-Iowa), whichever one wants it can have it. I think he (Kennedy) will be a help. He's an inspiration for us. That was the issue of his life and he didn't get it done.
When you place politics above all else, the human element loses its meaning. Reid is just a political animal, human emotion and compassion are foreign to him.
Reid is out of touch with the real world. He has been in DC way too long. Someone needs to force him into retirement and send someone to Congress who actually cares about more citizens than partisan politics.
He was asked the question in an interview. How should he have answered it?
All news outlets, left and right, are speculating on the impact and who will take over his committee positions.
