Reid Bitch Slaps Santorum in Senate Today Over Veterans Affairs Funding

We all know this administration and their lackeys on Capitol Hill love to be photographed with soldiers and vets before they rush back to cut funding for these folks they call heroes. Well, Reid apparently had enough of it today.

Here's a snippet, but go read AmericaBlog to get the broader context:

Senator Reid eviscerates Santorum on Senate floor This is a big deal for the Senate, this kind of excitement just doesn't happen on the floor. This exchange happened earlier today - this is not an official transcript, so may have some small typos, etc.

Mr. Reid: Mr. president, I will not be lectured about civility by the junior senator from Pennsylvania who has repeatedly disrespected veterans. Three times he opposed funding for veterans, votes in committee and here on the senate floor. I ask consent that his voting record be submitted in the record. On those issues.

The presiding officer: Without objection.

Mr. Reid: Mr. President, now with an election cycle upon us, he supports, under pressure, voting for veterans. Talk about crass politics. The junior senator from Pennsylvania can't run from his record. He owes the veterans more.
