Senate minority leader Harry Reid is certainly rising in my estimation. Just today he apparently called Fed chairman Alan Greenspan "one of the biggest political hacks we have here in Washington". Right on! This is the man who praises tax cuts as the cure for budget surpluses, tax cuts as the cure for budget deficits, and who just today came out in favor of replacing the income tax with a national sales tax. Huh? And oh yeah, every time he sneezes (or makes some mysterious, ponderous pronouncement about who-knows-what) the markets go into a tailspin. Man, does that annoy me.
Paul Krugman also offers his take on Greenspan's support of Social Security privatization.
I'd say it's time to put this guy out to pasture, but I have no faith that anyone appointed by this administration would be any better. But at least he's finally getting called out for being the partisan weasel that he is.

Yes. Mandatory retirement at 65(how's that square with the hoi polloi working until they're 70?) . So, who would * appoint to replace him?
