I’ve long thought Reid was mostly an empty suit but not the sort of guy to get furious at. He’s no ideologue, just a fixer-type. But when he says that he won’t believe General Petraeus no matter what the General says, it’s really pretty outrageous, particularly when Reid begins the interview by invoking Petraeus’s judgment in his own defense. Apparently, he’s pocketed all he needs from the General and so why bother listening any more. I’d rather he just put his hands over his ears and yelled “Nah-nah-nah-woop-woop-woop — I’m not listening — nah-nah-nah!” then listen to his soporific sophistry. Watch the clip here.
