1... 2.... 3.... Pull

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed went to the Senate floor today, walked up to his own petard, and issued the command to hoist.

When I spoke to Mark May he and I thought this probably wouldn't make much money, a letter written by democratic senators complaining about something. This morning, the bid is more than $2 million for this. We have watched it during the week. It keeps going up-and-up and up. There's only a little bit of time left on it. But it certainly is going to be more than $2 million.

Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature.

And, for the cause, madam president, it is extremely good.

Now, everyone knows that Rush Limbaugh and I don't agree on everything in life and maybe that is kind of an understatement. But without qualification Mark May, the owner of the network that has Rush Limbaugh and Rush Limbaugh should know that this letter that they're auctioning is going to be something that raises money for a worthwhile cause. I don't know what we could do more important than helping to ensure that children of our fallen soldiers and police officers who have fallen in the line of duty have the opportunity for their children to have a good education.

Think of this, more than $2 million — that will really help. That's, again, an understatement.

There's only a little bit of time left so I would ask those that are wanting to do more, that they can go to Harry Reid letter and it will come up on e-Bay. I encourage anyone interested with the means to consider contributing to this worthwhile cause.

I strongly believe when we can put our differences aside, even Harry Reid and Rush Limbaugh, we should do that and try to accomplish good things for the american people. This does that, madam president. More than $2 million for a letter signed by this senator and my friends.

That has to be the most pathetic pile of crap ever uttered in Washington. And in DC they sort of specialize in pathetic piles of crap.

Reed tries to make it sound like he and Rush teamed up to write this letter as a joint fund raiser. Reed taking any credit for the resulting $4.2 million donation is like the thief taking credit for the cops paycheck.
