Arlen Specter went to the Senate floor today to call out Harry Reid for his intemperate remarks. Now Arlen is perhaps to cute by half, but his remarks certainly ding the present Majority leader. Link to the video is here.
When you contrast Reid with our own Mike Mansfield, you have to wonder about Reid's competence. Now it could be that Reid is just playing to his base and "standing up to the Republicans." But it just demonstrates his lack of effectiveness. This is either a lack of control on Reid's part, or a calculated undertaking that realizes he will get no assistance from the Republicans, so he might as well play to his base. Either way, it means that nothing will get done.
But maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

I'm having a hard time dealing with the notion that Arlen Specter has finally said something that made me want to refrain from strangling him. Dennis Miller waxing eloquent on Harry Reid said it best: Senator, you are a vague, translucent living shade who barely matters...
That rant by Dennis was a good one.
