Reid: Investigate Bush Over North Korea Nukes

Reacting to the announcement that North Korea successfully conducted a nuclear test, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called Monday for an investigation of the Bush administration's "failed North Korea policies."

In a release, Reid said that "on the Bush Administration's watch, North Korea's arsenal has grown to as many as a dozen bombs," because he said Bush is "distracted by Iraq and paralyzed by internal divisions."

Calling the test "reckless and counterproductive," Reid called on Bush to "rally the international community and ... directly speak with the North Koreans so they understand we will not continue to stand on the sidelines."

Reid also called for a "full review" of the Bush administration's "failed North Korea policy," the development of "recommendations to change course," and direct communication with the North Koreans about "the consequence of their actions and the administration's new course."

I read this with a sense of something approaching awe. I thought, "No, this has to be satire. Reid couldn't possibly be this stupid."

I am now in a complete state of wonder at the sheer, brute stupidity of the Democrats.

I almost begin to believe that no matter what moronic, self-destructive thing the GOP does to skewer itself, the Democrats will one-up them and immolate themselves in an embarassing public display.

Just think, the space Reid is occupying could be had by something useful, like a waterbuffalo or a boat anchor.
