Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says,
“Mitt Romney gives used car salesmen a bad name.”

It might be a more effective attack if Mitt Romney actually was a used car salesmen.

Reader Debbie added:

I’m a bit confused about Harry Reid’s comments, where he said Mitt Romney is “giving used-car salesmen a bad name.”
Don’t used-car salesmen already have a bad name?
He’s completely messed up the idiom.
It would be “used-car salesmen give the sales profession a bad name,” or “Mitt Romney gives venture capitalists a bad name,” or something like that.
In other words, Mitt Romney’s bad example gives an entire group that he’s associated with — a group that previously had a good name — a bad name.
What he’s trying to say is, Mitt Romney is as bad as a used-car salesman. In fact, he’s worse.
We get the idea but it’s a poor use of the idiom.

Yes, it didn’t make much sense.

  1. can’t wait for Reid to go the way of Pelosi and Oprah.

  2. Exceeding what one would normally imagine, Harry Reid is giving Congress a bad name.

  3. Well what do you expect from a guy who raised his hand responding to Joe Biden’s asking if anyone knew someone who fought in Iran?

    Harry “rich” Reid is the salesman.. i mean, look what
    Nevadans keep buying.. how (fitb) are they anyway??

  5. Used car salesmen pay your salary you filthy liar

  6. Harry should check out polls regarding public respect and trust on various occupations. Politicians don’t rank all that well, and he’s well below a used car salesman’s turd.

  7. This from the sleaziest POS to walk the floor of the Senate and equally sleazy to Natzi Pelosi.

    Harry Reid would find himself laying on his ass if I ever met that jerk. He should be in prison.

    He is not worthy of wiping Mitt Romney’s dogs @ss

  9. Harry is a vile, little man….he gives Mormons a bad name

  10. a crooked used car salesman would have to go some to beat out reid in the contempt department. the lemmon law only pertains to cars but not harry unfortunately.

  11. Harry gives d-bags a bad name.

  12. I’m an active Mormon and he does not represent my faith in any way whatsoever. He never held a position in the Mormon church. He does not donate anything to charity. He has never volunteered to help others. He didn’t let the budget pass for four years because he is a power hungry little gnat.

    Questions abound on how he got his millions after buying land real cheap and then selling it for big bucks to the government. Could it be insider information? Gasp! Say it ain’t so.

    Me thinks he is projecting on Mitt Romney. Tsk. Tsk. Poor Harry.

  13. Mitt Romney Is “Giving Used Car Salesmen a Bad Name”

    …….says the snake oil salesman (D-NV)……..

  14. Cecile…Harry gives humans a bad name He is the worst kind of parasite…a public servant of the worst kind

  15. OT

    Another great story of success thanks to the regressives. I’m curious.
    Does anyone in Reid’s district pay taxes?
