Reid: GOP like the Jets w/no clear leader; and the Post, NYT sports sections suck

by Jon Ralston Thu, 12/06/2012 - 07:34

Or words to that effect.

Classic Senate floor speech from Mr. Extemporaneous this morning.

Here's a rush transcript:

MR. REID: RESERVING THE RIGHT TO OBJECT. I'M SORRY. RESERVING

THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, MR. PRESIDENT. I'VE BEEN THINKING HOW BEST

TO DESCRIBE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE ON CAPITOL HILL IN THE LAST

COUPLE OF WEEKS. EVERY MORNING I GET UP, THE FIRST THING I READ

IS THE SPORTS PAGE. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE SPORTS PAGE IN "THE

WASHINGTON POST" IS NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE AND

"THE NEW YORK TIMES" IS NOT GOOD EITHER. BUT I READ THEM.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE SPORTS PAGE. THEN I GO TO

THE FRONT PAGE AND GET SOME OF THE BAD NEWS. BUT I FOLLOW

SPORTS, NO MATTER

{09:47:55} (MR. REID) { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT }

WHAT IT IS: BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL. WHATEVER IT IS. AND

I'VE WATCHED VERY CLOSELY. IT'S NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS

BUT IT'S REALLY FUN TO WATCH, AND THAT'S THE NEW YORK JETS. NEW

YORK JETS, YES. NEW YORK JETS. COACH RYAN, HE'S GOT A PROBLEM.

HE HAS THREE QUARTERBACKS. SANCHEZ. HE'S GOT TIM TEBOW. HE'S

GOT A GUY NAMED McELROY. HE CAN'T DECIDE WHO THEIR QUARTERBACK

{09:48:31} (MR. REID) { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT }

IS GOING TO BE. THAT'S THE SAME PROBLEM THE REPUBLICANS HAVE.

WHO IS THE QUARTERBACK, MR. PRESIDENT?

WHO IS THE QUARTERBACK?
