Did you catch the latest pearl of wisdom from nutty Uncle Harry?  Speaking to a group of Latino's, he said, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican."  He then added, "Do I need to say more?"

Funny, I thought Hispanics were just as interested in an opportunity for prosperity as the next guy.

I generally don't like to speak for anyone, particularly liberal Democrats, but I'm pretty sure that their collective response to the last part would be, 'No, for the love of God, please don't say another word!'  Is there anything more cringe-worthy for the Dems than witnessing one more episode of verbal diarrhea from the clueless one...well, besides living through the implosion of the practical application of their long-held economic theories?

Perhaps it's unfair of me to criticize ol' Harry.  After all, he may have some rare form (outside Capitol Hill, anyway) of politics-induced Tourette's Syndrome.  Let's hope the new healthcare law allows him to see a doctor in order to get that diagnosed.  Whoops, how stupid of me, almost forgot that congress doesn't have to play by the same set of rules as those of us among the great unwashed.

Anyway, I'm probably over-reacting.  Of the litany of things Harry Reid doesn't understand, 'why a Hispanic would be a Republican' is pretty far down the list.

For example, to name a few, he doesn't understand the basics of:

• Our free market system
• Personal liberty and the role the constitution plays in protecting it
• Individual responsibility and initiative

Nor does he understand:

• How to stimulate the economy
• How to stop out-of-control spending
• How to restrain mushrooming government
• How to reform healthcare
• How to put us on a path to energy independence
• How to secure our borders
• How to properly regulate our financial system
• How to stop the melt-down in the housing market
• How to negotiate free trade agreements
• How to protect us from terrorism

To be fair, he does understand some things, like:

• How to create a system of cradle to grave entitlements
• How to explode the national debt
• How to weaken us economically
• How to lessen our stature abroad

Yep, upon further review, it's pretty clear that his latest excretion is relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things.  So, nevermind.

Someone, anyone... please drape a blanket over nutty Uncle Harry's legs and wipe away the drool that's running down his neck.
