[NVMojo]

This is a more in-depth version of the "Bush is a loser" story that has been posted in the initial short version that came out on the wire via this paper late Friday night.

Senator Reid! NEVER apologize for telling the truth!!!

BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!! BURIED INSIDE ARE A FEW GOOD ONES.

Sen. Harry Reid went to Del Sol High School on Friday to teach students "Checks and Balances 101."

But in the course of a discussion on filibusters and Senate rules, Washington's top Democrat ended up giving the 60 juniors a good lesson in partisan politics, particularly about the commander in chief.

"The man's father is a wonderful human being," Reid said in response to a question about President Bush's policies. "I think this guy is a loser. I think President Bush is doing a bad job," he added to a handful of chuckles.

The "loser" comment drew a quick response from the GOP.

Reid apparently felt pretty sure Friday of the Democrats' footing on the filibuster issue.

Although Democrats only have 45 members in the Senate, Reid said he feels confident Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., doesn't have the support needed to overturn the filibuster rules.
