About fucking time. It'd have been nice if Reid had found his spine in January of `07, when he became the Majority Leader. But better late than never, I guess.

As to why Reid has been so determined to be nice to people who keep playing him for a gullible jackass, a relative of mine, who lives in Utah, tells me it is because Reid is a Mormon and my relative thinks that Mormons seem to have a compulsion to be nice to everyone (at least since the Mountain Meadows Massacre).
