78. None of those tweets are from Greenwald

The only thing he's tweeted about Reid was linking without comment to the Washington Post story describing her as raising "questions" about him. The person who accused Reid on Twitter of being an Obama operative was not Greenwald but somebody posting as "frickyeah1990s" -- a fact you conveniently left out when you wrote "This seems to be his answer."
