"In the interview, Reid stepped up his attacks on his opponent, Sharron Angle, accusing her of lying about his personal life and record and calling her “embarrassing” to Nevada. Reid defended his record bringing jobs to the state and said it doesn’t give voters “comfort or solace” to tell them “but for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression.”

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has made his influence in Washington a central argument in his bid for re-election, insisting that "no one can do more" for Nevada than he can. But a new poll finds that most voters in the state don't think his clout is so important that he can't be replaced by someone else."

" Capitol Hill is no stranger to curse words, with former Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson's profanity-laced "persuasion" sessions having long occupied a prominent place in congressional lore. But LBJ, who revered the traditions of the "world's greatest deliberative body," would be embarrassed by Sen. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat, who delighted this week in using the six-letter adjective for excrement during official Senate proceedings. Levin pointedly repeated the word 13 times during this week's Senate inquisition of a half dozen Goldman Sachs executives."

"Bipartisan agreement on jobs lasted all of a few hours. This afternoon, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus announced he'd reached accord with ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). They unveiled what was supposed to be a final jobs package. But the agreement didn't sit well with many Democrats, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has pulled it out of their hands, and announced he'd move ahead with a smaller bill."

"With the exception of Nebraska Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson’s “Cornhusker Kickback,” which alienated independent voters and came to symbolize an out-of-touch Washington, none of the other narrow provisions that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid inserted into the bill appear to be in any kind of danger as Democrats try to figure out the way ahead."

"President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will be all smiles as the president arrives at the Capitol for his State of the Union speech Wednesday night, but the happy faces can’t hide relationships that are fraying and fraught."

"Sources on the Hill tell Big Government that the nomination of Ben Bernanke to remain Chairman of the Federal Reserve is in deep trouble. A Senior Capitol Hill Staffer said to Big Government, “if [Senate Majority Leader] Reid does not file for cloture tonight, I don’t think they have the votes to confirm him.”

"Remember during the presidential race when numerous videos came out showing elementary age school children singing the praises of Obama surfaced? Well, it seems the African American community is continuing to exploit their children for political purposes and they don't seem to have a problem with it."

"No word yet from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on whether he plans to follow the House on the 72-house public viewing."

"Reid’s comments show a belief. And further, that belief is a stereotype and it is only made worse that Reid now says that he thought he was off the record – as if that makes it better."

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid comes back to Washington this week seemingly humbled after a racially tinged gaffe forced an apology to President Obama, but the senator returns with the one bright spot -- the president's blessing on a health care bill that could end up raising taxes on thousands of middle class workers and their families."
