What would you call an older man in his 70’s who makes inappropriate remarks about a female colleague? I call him our Asshat of the Day.
Harry Reid, who’s won this award before, thought he was being funny at a fundraiser for Mayor Michael Bloomberg the other night when he called Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand the “Senate’s hottest member.” He could have praised her for her hard work on behalf of New Yorkers, he could have told the audience how she has been fighting for open government and supporting the DREAM Act and the repeal of DADT. But no, Sen. Reid (Dirty Old Man – NV) had to make a sexist remark. Yeah, this should help him with women voters. And he criticizes Sharon Angle for being out of touch (well, she is, on a par with Christine O’Whack-a-mole), but c’mon Harry, show some class.
Harry Reid, our Asshat of the Day.
