Harry Reid probably thought Dick Cheney's fusillade was the harshest. But not so. The vice president's assault on the Senate majority leader over the "war is lost" imbroglio was nothing compared with punditry dean David Broder in The Washington Post this week. Broder compared Reid to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as "a continuing embarrassment , thanks to his amateurish performance." Broder even compared the various defenses of Reid to Bill Clinton's famous parsing of the definition of "is." Now that is harsh. Broder concluded that the Democrats "deserve better" and the "country needs more" than Reid as the Senate leader. That's worse than any R-J editorial ever penned about Reid.
