Like Water Off a Lame Duck's Back

ILuvUMan · 01-04-2009, 02:53 PM

Like Harry Reid said in his book and on Meet the Press this Morning with David Gregory, more than once; "Dubya, the worst President EVER in USA history".

What's even worse he and the other NeoCons just don't get it.

Where's the stomping all over our US Constitution and torture? Oh, well, I guess you can only draw so much water on a Duck's back.

followed closely by Pelosi, Franks, Dodd, and Blago. Obama is bought and has no mind or position of his own. Special interests and the left/right wingers will derail him

Oh yea, Roland is more qualified for a Senate seat than Caroline.

It is clearly evident that the best America has to offer doesn't become politicians.

LBJ and Carter easily give W a run for the money.

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher here in southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory.

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Congressman Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle.

Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:

'Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'

NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks!

That's real POLITICAL SPIN.

It's not that hard folks. snopes.com has a search box. Just typing in Remus Reid yields you this:
