Can we get Harry Reid to call anyone else a "hottie"?

Because it is working like a charm:

In the Special Election to fill the final 2 years of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s term, incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and former Congressman Republican Joe DioGuardi today finish effectively even, with Gillibrand’s nominal 1-point lead being within the survey’s theoretical margin of sampling error.

Gillibrand leads in the 5 boroughs of NYC but trails elsewhere.

Men vote Republican, women vote Democrat and, in this contest, cancel each other out.

This wasn't even a race considered in-play which makes this poll pretty shocking.  There's a lot of that  going around these days.  Joe DioGuardi will gladly take a donation to send Harry's Hottie to an early retirement.

How's that health care law working out for you Democrats?

Nearly half (48 percent) of all independent voters said that even if a candidate otherwise held perfect views (in the eyes of the voter) — even if they “agreed with him on all other issues” (italics added) — they still couldn’t vote for him “if [they] disagreed with him on health care reform.” (Another 13 percent weren’t sure whether they could abide such a costly error in judgment or not.)

And what must the candidate’s position on health-care reform be? For 83 percent of the respondents who said their vote would hang in the balance, the candidate must oppose Obamacare. So, according to the survey, if you support Obamacare, you’ve just lost 40 percent (83 percent of 48 percent) of the independent vote — before any other issue is even addressed.

Now who would have thought that health care bill would be a bigger liability than a word of praise from Harry Reid?

Oh that crazy wacky Harry Reid does it again

Sharon Angle should send him a thank you for this little gem.  It wasn't even a week ago he made news calling Chris Coons his pet now we find out he lets a massively stupid sexist comment slip from his uncensored lips this morning at a fundraiser:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had an unusual form of praise for New York's junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, this morning at the fundraiser Mayor Bloomberg hosted for him at his townhouse - referring to her as "the hottest member" as she sat just a few feet away, according to three sources.

The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red, according to the sources, and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there.

"It was pretty shocking when he said it," said one source familiar with the remark and the reaction.

I am not going to try and pretend to be outraged because - seriously - this guy is the gift that keeps on giving. Someone follow him around 24/7 with a microphone before he is sent to his forced retirement November 2nd,  please.   The lone left-wing blog brave enough to touch this statement on Memeorandum sums up the magnitude of Harry's stupidity perfectly:

Speaking of Harry Reid's office, all I could say about the Senate Majority Leader after reading this was "Oh, f*ck no."

Oh yes, he's all yours.
