Harry Reid actually appears to have some chutzpah. In repsonse to Alan Greenspan's unmitigated horseshit about Social Security this week, Mr. Reid said: "I think he's one of the biggest political hacks we have in Washington."
Well, slap my mammy!
Ezra Klein points out: "Reid has shattered the consensus that St. Alan is above reproach. "
Amen to that. Klein also goes on to suggest that reporters start treating Greenspan's blather as they treat those of any other party operative: by presenting opposing arguments in the interest of balance. I agree, but I doubt the media are bright enough to understand they're hearing from a political operative when this old geezer mumbles. Many of them still believe Bob Woodward's slack-jawed pronouncement that this glorified bureaucrat is "the Maestro."
