THIS is the ranking Democrat

The U.S. Senate's leading Democrat found himself in embarrassingly hot water Wednesday, after dismissing the idea of funding children's cancer research through the government shutdown.

'If you can help one child, why won't you do it?' asked CNN reporter Dana Bash.

'Why, why, why would we want to do that?' countered Reid.

'I have 1100 people at Nellis Air Force Base that are sitting home,' because of government employee furloughs, he told Bash and a roomful of other journalists. 'They have – they have a few problems of their own.'

I still can't believe this can even happen.
Honestly, it seems rather stupid.

It's either the Obama way or no way. HE caused this with his freakin' Obamacare!

Nonetheless, shutting (just about) everything down because two parties can't work out a compromise seems unbelievably idiotic to me.
Imagine if your computer just crashed if you tried to divide by 0 in Windows Calculator.
