It’s hard to know for sure from Sen. Harry Reid’s cryptic comments (via PJM ^[1]) on the possible death of Osama bin Laden in a Pakistan earthquake whether the Senator was working from secret intelligence or from media reports. But whatever the case, the Senator has proven himself again “the very model of the modern Major Political Hack” (to mutilate Gilbert & Sullivan ^[2]) – extremely high on partisanship and extremely low on brains (a match made in heaven).
