Zeezrom

Harry Reid, would recognize that reference, although I doubt that he'd see how it applies to himself. Zeezrom was a lawyer in the Book of Mormon who exemplified twisting the words and positions of the prophets in order to gain favor with the people and to lead them astray.

The rally yesterday by Senate Democrats accusing the Republicans of trying to shut down the Senate, pack the courts, yadda, yadda, yadda, has to be one of the most barefaced uses of sophistries I've heard since Bill Clinton said he did not have sex with "that woman." Democrats complaining about deficits strikes me as the greatest bit of hypocrisy in my lifetime. They controlled the House of Representatives for as long as I remember, until 1994, and they never balanced the budget. Now they're out of power and they're suddenly opposed to majority rule, claiming that eliminating the filibuster are trying to destroy the Constitution. Reid, Durban and Byrd demonstrated demagoguery in its most transparent form. Jesse Jackson must have been proud.
