Quote of the Day – December 16, 2010

by FSM: QUOTE OF THE DAY December 16, 2010
 
1: “We're going to complete the work we have to do here. I want to get out of here just as soon as we can. But we're not going to walk away from any of the work that we have to do. Christmas is a week from Saturday. I understand that. Christmas is a week from Saturday. I understand that I know how much time we have before Christmas, but remember . there is still Congress after Christmas. So if the Republicans think that because they can stall and stall and stall, that we take a break, we're through. We're not through. Congress ends on January 4th. So we're going to continue working on this stuff until we get it done.”
 
 
2: “As a Christian, no one has to remind me of the importance of Christmas for all of the Christian faith, for all their families, all across America," he said. "I don't need to hear the sanctimonious lectures of Sen. Kyl and [Sen. Jim] DeMint to remind me of what Christmas means. Where were their concerns about Christmas [when they were posing] filibuster after filibuster of every piece of legislation during this entire Congress?”
 
-  Senator Harry Reid, 1) Speaking on Tuesday about his intentions to use the Christmas period to get the Lame Duck Congress to pass through legislation,  and 2) Responding yesterday to comments that he was engaging in “grinchery” after his announcement in paragraph 1.
