Harry Reid on Greenspan

This is a bit much. Senator Harry Reid, you know who he is, the elder democratric statesman, Harry of the West (apology to Henry Clay). He said this about Alan Greenspan the other day on Judy Woodruff (about two-thirds of the way down):

Judy, you understand, I hope, that I’m not a big Greenspan fan -- Alan Greenspan fan. I voted against him the last two times. I think he’s one of the biggest political hacks we have in Washington.

Thanks Harry. That’s what Greenspan is, a hack. Right, and Peter Schramm is a philosopher. You are a very thoughtful and articulate guy, Harry. You disagree with him on Social Security and therefore he’s a hack. Good luck in your new position, Harry. I think you will soon be tenured into the slot of minority leader.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Dr. Peter Schramm really is a philosopher. Then again, what is a philosopher if nothing more than one who thinks and articulates what he has thought?

Well, like many of the contributors to this blog, he’s a sophist ideologue, if you want to count that as a philosopher.

Ugh, Senator Reid, you fool. Put that garbage at the curb, dems.
