Remembering DASCHLE kissing Shrub, I say thank you to Harry REID

[UTUSN]

Back when Shrub first took power and I think pre-9/11 when the media was tiptoeing with NO criticism of him, the t.v. was in the background and I heard somebody call Shrub a liar. I was pleasantly surprised and looked up to see who it was and it was Harry REID. Since then he has called out wingnuts of different shades of detestability, including Mittens over paying taxes, the KOCHes, LIMBOsevic, et al. Yes, the DASCHLE days were full of the fearful and timid Democrats afraid of being called "unpatriotic" and I sometimes defended DASCHLE for the difficulty of walking the line. But whatever else, Harry has at least spoken up.
