Is Harry Reid ever not creepy? I could imagine if he used the term once without understanding how creepy it wound sound once said aloud. But he went back after some consideration and reiterated the point. Dude.

“I’m going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate,” Reid said.

“Let me tell you about him: A graduate of Yale Divinity School. Yale Law School. A two-time national debate champion. He represents two-thirds of the state now, in an elected capacity. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen him or heard him speak, but he is a dynamic speaker. I don’t mean loud or long; he’s a communicator. So that’s how I feel about Delaware. I’ve always thought Chris Coons is going to win. I told him that and I tried to get him to run. I’m glad he’s running. I just think the world of him. He’s my pet.“

How long before some staffer finds Reid sitting on his desk, holding onto his Majority Leader nameplate while grumbling, “We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little teapartyierses.” At this rate, sometime next month.
