Harry Reid's Immaturity Reaches Yet Another Low

After keeping the Senate in pro forma session during the Thanksgiving holidays to thwart a presidential recess appointment, Harry Reid was feeling pretty proud of himself. After all, it was Harry's only victory over Bush this year.

Feeling especially proud of himself, Reid has decided to try it again:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has announced that he will call the Senate into pro forma sessions every several days during the upcoming winter recess in order to prevent President Bush from making recess appointments.

Reid explained that he and Josh Bolten, the White House chief of staff, were not able to reach an agreement to prevent Bush from giving a recess appointment to Stephen Bradbury, the actiing head of DOJ”s Legal Counsel, and without that agreement with the White House, Reid refused to allow the Senate to recess for three weeks.

As it stands now, Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) or some other Democrat will come in every couple days, gavel the Senate into session, and then immediately adjourn. This will block Bush from using his recess-appointment authority.

My 16 year old is more mature than Reid.
