Reid: Republicans Like ‘Greased Pigs’

Harry Reid: Working With GOP Like Chasing Greased Pigs (Truth Revolt)

Speaking on the floor of the Senate today, Harry Reid launched into a long and baffling description of a greased pig contest: the mechanics; the rewards; even the cultural significance of them. All this belabored "Forrest Gump" exposition was apparently background for a pretty weak and insignificant metaphor for working with Republicans in the Senate.

Oft times, working with my Senate Republican colleagues reminds me of chasing one of these little pigs in a greased pig contest. Regardless of all of our efforts, any time we get close to making progress, it seems as though we watch it slip out of our hands and the Republicans scamper away.
