Senator Harry Reid, a Different Spin

At that site that lives to mock the French, ¡No Pasaran!, we have a post on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's recent comment on Chinese President Hu Jintao.  The title of the Blog Post is "Not Only Was Reid Not Condemning Dictatorships; He Seemed to be Musing Wistfully About Them".

Is that really fair to Senator Reid?  Is Eric Svane being fair in suggesting that Senator Reid is a little wistful about the ability of President Hu Jintao to make things happen without all the problems encountered in trying to pass legislation in the US Senate.

For the record, I like the idea that the US Senate is a body that cools the heat and passion of the US House of Representatives.  Working as designed.
