Heard out of Harry Reid’s office yesterday:

“I think a lot of this is exactly what Republicans want, and that’s a diversion.”

(It’s the Republicans’ fault)

“You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.”

(It’s the media’s fault)

Oh, and apparently the question of the day, from Brian Wilson of Fox News (not the Beach Boys):

“If people are focused on the other things that you’ve said about hating Republicans, about Republicans being dishonest and then this latest comment about the Republican Party is full of white Christians. You say you hate Republicans — does that mean you also” (hate white Christians)?

Reports that “Yeeeeaaaaaggghhhhh” was heard behind closed doors after the media left could not be confirmed.
