Reid Laughs at GOP:"I'm sorry to—smile—as you can't see on radio—More disfunction? I mean, gee whiz"
"We had to take action, drastic action, to respond to the American people looking at Congress as they do," he said in an interview with WAMU's "The Diane Rehm Show."
When Rehm asked if the filibuster change would make "bipartisanship" and "comity" in the Senate even more difficult, the Democratic leader laughed out loud.
"I'm sorry to—smile—as you can't see on radio," he said. "More disfunction? I mean, gee whiz. When you have constitutionally necessary posts like judges who they refuse to put in office?"
