I thought he was a very weak Senate Minority Leader, and I’m glad he’s gone. The next that should go is Terry McAuliffe. The Democratic Party needs some people with balls in charge. ---

In fairness, the only times I heard anything about him was when talk radio would be attacking him for something he said. But, oh-boy did he say some stupid things. It seemed to be a regularly occurring theme that he would step into one mess or another. I remember well his very fake looking attempt at emotion during a speech about the war. He spoke almost at a whisper, but at the same time trembling with rage: “It’s wrong!” “It’s wrong.” “It’s wrong!” It was really bad, even for a politician who you expect to be full of it. Definately the worst display of feigned emotion from a politician since Gore speaking to black churches in the 2000 election. ---

From [Fox News](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137533,00.html) > [@](#): > > Next in line to take Daschle’s place is Senate Minority Whip Harry Reid of Nevada … **Reid is a low-key, unglamorous** , but tough insider Are the Democrats fucking mad? For how long are they going to put low-key, unglamorous guys in charge? Until they are reduced to a tiny party with no power? ---

I was more excited about him losing than anything else on Tuesday. He didn’t do anything for his state or the Dems. ---

I only wish I could find a novelty company able to produce butt plugs in the shape of one of W’s boots. Hate to send the liberals away empty handed. ---

I’m not **glad** , per se, but (as a Democrat) I do think he was a crappy leader. The term “whiny bitch” got slung around in my house during the elections, and typically it was either him or Alan Keyes being described. Hopefully a far superior replacement will be found. ---
