Drudge steals a play from Tim Russert’s bag o’ tricks:
FLASHBACK: DEM LEADER HARRY REID ALL SMILES AT PATRIOT ACT SIGNING
THE DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a photograph of President Bush signing the Patriot Act in the East Room of the White House on October 26, 2001.
And standing over the President’s shoulder with a smile on his face is Democratic Senate Minority Harry Reid (D-NV)!
Reid is currently leading efforts in the Senate to block the renewal of the Patriot Act.
After Reid successfully prevented the Patriot Act’s renewal late last week the Senator attended a Democrat political rally and proudly declared, “We killed the Patriot Act.”
One Republican strategist familiar with the photo said, “Democrats think they can regain the majority? Not a chance if they continue to put politics above what’s best for the country. Harry Reid is making a colossal miscalculation, but it’s not the first time and thankfully for us, probably not the last.”
Simple hypocrisy.
