Wow, would ya look at the time?
Reid on fiscal cliff: "I don't know time-wise how it can happen now"
— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) December 27, 2012
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it’s pretty darn likely the country is about to take the fiscal cliff plunge.
Reid: blah, blah, blah. Translated: Bring a parachute to your New Years Eve party. #fiscalcliff

The markets are just loving his ambitious stance.
Markets rolling over as Reid suggested there isn't enough time left to avoid going over the fiscal cliff.

But no worries. As always, Reid’s totally serious about fiscal-y thingies. And stuff.

But not serious enough to, you know, negotiate with Republicans.
"Take this escape hatch that we’ve left you," Reid says of the Senate bill – in an appeal to Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader McConnell.

And not serious enough to resist calling Speaker John Boehner a dictator.
Reid ripping into @SpeakerBoehner in a surprisingly personal way. Calling him a dictator in one breath and afraid for his job in another

Why, it’s almost as if he wants to go over the fiscal cliff.

Less talk, more doing your job, Harry.
Boehner spox Brendan Buck: Reid should talk less & legislate more. The House has already passed legislation to avoid the entire #fiscalcliff

The House has already passed legislation averting the #FiscalCliff, time for Senator Reid and the President to pass something…

Reid, of course, made his fiscal cliff position perfectly clear last week when he said, “We are not going to do anything.” But it’s Republicans’ fault?
Reid says instead of working in DC on the fiscal cliff, House Republicans are out "watching movies"

Can we at least all agree that this is something we must avoid at all costs?
Wonder what swim suit Harry Reid will wear to the fiscal cliff jumping party? Sorry for that visual?

Shudder.
Update:
More super serious negotiating from Sen. Reid:
The way to avoid the 'fiscal cliff' has been in the face of GOP leaders for months – taking up the Senate-passed mid.-class tax cut bill
