At the hour of ten, Washington, D.C. time, Harry Reid reconvened the United States Senate for another busy week.  Holding his pencil like the late Lawrence Welk held his baton, the hapless majority leader started off the week by defending the Democrats' budget bill in the following way:



Reid stated the stock market was dropping, "as we speak", at 10:07AM EDT.  At that time, the stock market was up approximately 300 points, on the way to the largest one day gain in nealy five years, closing over 416 points.  You think somebody on the Democratic side, another Senator, a staffer, might have leaned in and whispered something to Senator Reid, something like, "Senator, the market's through the roof today, you're making a fool of yourself...again?" Nope.

You could say Reid just had a slip of the tongue, but that wouldn't explain him saying the market was in freefall again in a press conference a little while later.   The one thing you can say about Harry Reid is that he's remarkably consistent.  He almost never lets facts get in the way of whatever narrative he's trying to sell the American people.
