HARRY REID RANKLES WASHINGTON POST SPORTS DEPARTMENT

I’ve been so nice to Harry Reid over the years. I blogged about his plaudits for Stephen Strasburg, delivered on the Senate floor. I blogged about his use of “That’s a Clown Question, Bro,” never using the opportunity to take out-of-nowhere shots at Reid’s policy beliefs or strategic choices or desperate appropriation of a quip made by a man less than a third of his age. I even exchanged e-mails with one of Reid’s staffers, and I thought we were all cool.
