Harry Reid must be feeliing like a guy who missed his flight to Hawaii today.
In a press conference this morning, flanked by Schumer and other Crat movers and shakers, Reid demanded a floor vote on the Dubai deal.
Unfortunately, the Republcians already killed the deal in the House yesterday and Dubai Ports World has withdrawn it petition, saying that it would sell the P&O's American interests to a domestic entity.
Reid and the Democrats missed what has to be their single best opportunity to take the whip hand on national security and flog the Republcian for a change.
Of course, there is still plenty of work to be done. Senator Schumer and Clinton's home ports are effectively run by the mafia according to a Homeland Security report. Perhaps the good Senators can explain what they intend to do about that mess.
