David Krone, Harry Reid's chief of staff, denounces GOP ‘cowards’

Source: Politico

The war over Mitt Romney’s tax returns is getting more bitter by the moment, with a top aide to Senate Majority Harry Reid blasting Republicans as “cowards” and “henchmen” for their attacks on the Nevada Democrat.

“They’re a bunch of cowards and they’re avoiding the issue,” said David Krone, Reid’s chief of staff, in an interview with POLITICO on Sunday night. “Lindsey Graham, Reince Priebus - they’re a bunch of henchmen for Romney and they’re all reading off the same talking points. They couldn’t hold a candle to Harry Reid.”

Krone added: “What Harry Reid said is the fact of what he was told. To turn it around, all their childish rants this weekend about calling Reid a ‘liar’ and all that, it just shows you how scared they are that Harry Reid was telling the truth.”
Krone’s comments are the latest round in what has becoming an increasingly bitter - and personal fight - between Reid, Romney and Republicans over Reid’s assertion that Romney has not paid taxes for the decade.

3. Beautiful theatre!

Reid sends a surrogate. Lovely move. The Republicans hate this. Reid sends a underling to respond. It is not worth his time.

This is high art. Go, Harry, go!

The rope-a-dope in action.

7. It is called Hypocrisy and is a Republican specialty

I am convinced that about 90% of Republicans/Romney supporters just don't have the intellectual capacity to understand hypocrisy. And the other 10%, or so, know exactly what hypocrisy is and have perfected it to a fine art. My percentages may be off a little.
