I wish I had Photoshop so I could put Harry Reid's melon on this dude's body. Alas.
Harry Reid is going to have a lumpy stocking this Christmas:
A food safety bill that has burned up precious days of the Senate's lame-duck session appears headed back to the chamber because Democrats violated a constitutional provision requiring that tax provisions originate in the House.
By pre-empting the House's tax-writing authority, Senate Democrats appear to have touched off a power struggle with members of their own party in the House. The Senate passed the bill Tuesday, sending it to the House, but House Democrats are expected to use a procedure known as "blue slipping" to block the bill, according to House and Senate GOP aides.
The debacle could prove to be a major embarrassment for Senate Democrats, who sought Tuesday to make the relatively unknown bill a major political issue by sending out numerous news releases trumpeting its passage.
Well, this is a fitting end to crappy legislation and also a fitting beginning to a cram-it-through lame duck legislative session that seems intent on completely ignoring the will of the people on a myriad of topics.
The Democrats, in their haste to get their last hippie dreams realized, stink it up. Yes, this is called schadenfreude.
