"You have to release them (Gitmo detainees) before you can put them in prison" :Senator Reid
What??? That has to be one of the most stupid things Ive heard a politician say. I don't think even Sarah Palin would say something so dumb. No wonder the Senate is so poorly run.

1. Apparently, Reid has never heard of a prisoner transfer.
Happens all the time in the US.

3. Talking about Gitmo detainees serving time in US prisons if convicted.
I think he was going the NIMBY route, but was very inept in how he was saying it.

4. The man suffers from lack of self esteem.
"Hey, look at me, I'm relevant!"

No you're not terribly relevant or helpful.

He's a crybaby, I'm growing quite tired of him.
