Charlie Spiering @ The Washington Examiner:
Jon Stewart ridiculed Senate Majority leader Harry Reid last night for accusing Mitt Romney of not paying any taxes for 10 years.
“Here’s a rule of thumb, if you have to follow your claim with the words, ‘I don’t know if this is true’ then shut up.” Stewart said, comparing Reid to Donald Trump.
Stewart then launched a segment called “You Harry Reid are Really Really Terrible” and proceeded to ridicule Reid.
“You’re the Senate Majority Leader, you can’t just run to the Side-Boob Gazette with ridiculous speculations,” Stewart said, jokingly referring to the Huffington Post.
Stewart also criticized Reid for making speculations about what Mitt Romney’s father thought about his son’s decision not to release his tax returns.
“I can’t believe you just went dead-Dad shame on Mitt Romney,” Stewart said incredulously. “That is a bulls*it shot.”
I have heard (don’t know if this is true) that, while he’s on the floor of the Senate, anything libelous or slanderous Reid says he cannot be sued for.
IF he repeats his claims off the floor of the Senate, then he opens himself up to lawsuits.
So far, Reid has only said it from the floor of the Senate.
I heard that Harry likes to work v-e-r-r-r-r-y closely with Nancy. Don’t know if it’s true… just heard that somewhere.
Harry is a tired, dried-up old man who has long since lost his moral compass, any common sense and deceny that he may have ever laid claim to. All the more reason to vote for Republicans in the senate and relegate this piece of human misery to the little kids table.
AND, Harry… why aren’t you hot and bothered about Tiny Tim Geithner and all the others in this administration and Congress who haven’t paid their taxes… Guess that’s ok?
If his source is so reliable, why is he not sure if it is true?
