Harry Reid will match Limbaugh Letter Auction bid
19 October 2007Oh, yes. He will.
That is, with enough pressure from people who express outrage that he would dare attempt take any credit for the idea that a letter from 41 US Senators attempting to silence a private American citizen be placed for auction with proceeds going to a very worthy charity.
“Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature,” Reid says. Now let’s think about this for one moment. Who says something like that normally? Usually it’s an expression used by someone who had a plan that, when executed, became something much greater than anticipated. So while technically Reid is correct, since he never thought of it in the first place, he does truly attempt to take some credit in coming up with the plan to write a letter which would be auctioned for charity… due to its historic implications of exposing a corrupt and power-mad Democrat-controlled Senate.
And what of the other implications? Let’s amuse the Senator from Nevada for a moment and say we accept his insinuation that he was in on it from the beginning. Is the Senator now admitting that he uses the Move On crowd’s phony, overly dramatic outrage against them to create a phony and overly dramatic reaction (in this case a letter to Limbaugh’s syndication partner) on his part? Is he saying, “yes, people who vote for me and others who have nothing to do with Nevada who fund my re-election, I do think you are just that stupid!”?
Senator Reid has two choices: he can match the winning bid dollar-for-dollar just as Rush Limbaugh is doing, or he can do nothing, continue taking credit for an idea that was never his nor his intention, proving that he truly does hate children.
H/t to Ace of Spades, who has video.
