Harry Reid’s Press Conference

Video here. Man, he is pissed.

He took Frist’s whining about the Senate close-down being a slap in the face, and threw it right back at him, describing the GOP’s unwillingness to investigate why we went to war as “the real slap in the face…a slap in the face to the American people.” He answered a question about Frist’s claim that no one ever talked to him about frustration with the stalled investigations with “unless someone is deaf” they’d know about the ongoing discussions between Rockefeller and Roberts. And then, the coup de grace:

This Republican Senate does no oversight… It’s all part of a plan. They obstruct, they take orders from the White House, they do nothing without getting orders from the White House. The Separation of Powers doctrine is something that does not exist in this town.
Quite a day.
