SHORTER DAVID BRODER

The public is really going to punish Harry Reid for blocking an immigrational bill that nobody actually likes.

Yeah, right -- the entire base of the president's party absolutely despises this bill and considers killing it an absolute top priority, yet its failure to pass is Harry Reid's fault. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

Right now, I don't know which beef is sillier -- McCain's beef with Romney (has anyone ever expended more effort to finish third?) or Broder's beef with Reid.
