Harry Reid: “From time to time I say nice things about Senators on this side of the aisle, and I do not often enough say nice things…”

On the recordFebruary 12, 2004
From time to time I say nice things about Senators on this side of the aisle, and I do not often enough say nice things about those on the other side of the aisle. I want to say the presentation made by the junior Senator from Missouri is one of the finest presentations I have heard in many years in the Senate. It was logical. It was to the point. It laid out what we, the four managers of this bill, have been trying to do, and how difficult it was to arrive at the point where we are. I want to express my appreciation to the Senator from Missouri for an outstanding statement. It was well delivered and had a lot of substance.

Get rid of the filibuster. It’s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis’ funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It’s very bad.

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.
