Reid: Filibusters = stabbings

Just when I thought that moron couldn’t get any stupider, he shows me that I was incorrect in that assumption.  From Politico:

Reid and Democrats have pointed to the 72 cloture motions — which cut off debate and require 60 votes — as “filibusters.” Republicans say these are not true filibusters, since many of the motions pass overwhelmingly.

Nonetheless, Reid says Republican contentions that they’ve only forced 65 or so cloture motions proves the point. Here’s the stabbing quote:

“Is it 72; is it 65? It’s like you’re charged with aggravated assault and the complaint says you stabbed somebody 72 times and you say no, it’s 65 times,” Reid said.

Reid liked the analogy so much he used it again on a follow up question. “The picture is clear what the Republicans have done. Whether the stab was 72 times or 65 times — a lot of filibusters,” Reid said. “The American people see what’s going on.” (We sure do, and we see you’re a buffoon and a hypocrite. – Ed.)

Oh, I see.  So when Dems were in the minority, they were stabbing Bush’s judicial nominees?  How odd, since I seem to recall Harry saying that those “stabbings” were a way to constrain the majority (which, presumably, is a good thing).  Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, these “stabbings” sure seem a lot more painful.

Jackass.
