Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid delivered a striking mea culpa on the Senate floor Friday as he opened the chamber, saying he and his colleagues have simply gotten too personal and nasty in their floor debates.

A day earlier Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, had scolded Mr. Reid for attacking Sen. Ted Cruz, another Texas Republican, by name as they debated the government shutdown. Mr. Cornyn read directly from the Senate Rules that prohibit members from impugning each other’s motives or conduct.

Mr. Reid on Friday said it was a lesson all senators, including himself, should learn.

“I’ll work harder and I hope my senators will work to their best to maintain these habits of civility and decorum,” he said.

I am sure his apology was super sincere....

If ANYONE in Washingtons mouth is moving they're lying. Fact.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

Reid's a punk.

The more I think about Dingy Harry lecturing Senators on the need for civility is unreal. What a complete douch#bag.

Ever since that Tea Party led challenge to his seat in 2010 he has sounded particularly bitter.

I don't know why. He DID get the Vegas unions to do his dirty work for him and steal the election that he was losing. That man is a vile POS and a scumbag that uses his position to enrich himself and his family.

And being vile is a compliment where Dirty Harry is concerned.

When you are a member of the Chic Mafia you get things done for you, like re-election.

Just listening to talk makes me want to hit him, his voice just irritates me.

Damage control. Nothing more.

Destroy names now, realize nobody thought it was cute, initiate damage control, hope someone buys it.

Please stop. You're going back into intelligence beast mode and throwing out those detailed posts again. Try to keep it short and simple.

You mean the seat he was entitled to? I'm sure that cost him over $10 million that would otherwise be in his own pocket by now.

Desperation is a foul cologne.
