The "Pot" attempts to call the Kettle black

An excerpt from this story from Knight-Ridder:

Asked Thursday his reaction to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's insistence this week that Social Security must be transformed, preferably along lines urged by Bush, Reid replied:

"I'm not a big Greenspan fan. ... I voted against him two times. I think he's one of the biggest political hacks we have in Washington," Reid said on CNN's "Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics."

Reid complained that Greenspan had decried budget deficits when Bill Clinton was president but he doesn't criticize Bush for turning a federal budget surplus he inherited from Clinton into trillions of new debt.

Question: Could that be because Greenspan understands that it is status quo to operate in a deficit during wartime??!? Oddly enough, the title of this story reads,

"Harry Reid a soft-spoken lawmaker with a punch"

My, dear reader; politics does make for short memories, does it not? AND "Soft Spoken"?? Reid is every bit as much a demagogue (if not more so) as was his predecessor. Every indication thus far suggests we have merely traded a weasel for a rat.
