When the Washington Post reported that the Iraqi government was going to grant amnesty to terrorists who killed Americans Harry Reid couldn't get to a microphone fast enough to criticize the Bush Administration. Turns out the Post lied and Reid looked . . . well . . . dumb.

Same reason that all politicians run their mouths, to make political points...it don't always work...just ask George Bush...

Unfortunately, poor Harry Reid isn't as quick witted as he is with his mouth. This is not the first or I am sure the last time he will have his foot in his mouth! There are more than a few democrats that race to the microphone to criticize President Bush, Dick Cheney or anyone else in the administration, only to find out (within minutes) that they are wrong. It makes for great comic relief for the rest of us.

Same reason that Bush rushes into a war without all the right facts.
Its because they're all partisan politicians.
