Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has called for a vote today at 5:00 PM on the Wall Street bill despite a letter signed by all 41 Republicans that the bill, as presently constituted, is dead. The Republicans are demanding a bipartisan bill with a number of changes if Democrats expect the legislation to be considered.
A source inside the US Senate speaking on condition of anonymity told Virginia Right! that Reid is well aware the bill is dead, and that the Democrats have no plans to enact the legislation at this time, they just want to challenge the Republicans, and blame them for supporting Wall Street over Main Street.

Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a Saint – A Saint Bernard. Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Reid is so physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee Herman look like Mr. T. And Reid’s so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual. Nevada is soooo screwed! If I were less polite, I’d say Reid makes Kevin Federline look successful.
