As Harry Reid argued today for the “nuclear option,” which would give the Dem-controlled Senate the power to limit filibusters, Political Wire publisher Taegan Goddard accidentally let his true colors show:
Reid must know he has the votes to change the filibuster rules. That in itself is pretty amazing.

Watching Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor just reminds me of how dishonest politicians can be.

Wait … really, pal?

It’s off, all right.
I'm actually not in favor of limiting the filibuster but McConnell's argument makes no sense at all. Republicans abused the rule.

We're in the mess we're in because the majority of politicians of both parties are dishonest with voters. But McConnell is off the rails.

Avowed Twitchy readers know quite well that we’re not what you’d call staunch defenders of Sen. McConnell. But the idea that in the debate between Senate party leaders, Goddard is sneering at the Republican while giving lying über-hypocrite Reid a pass is just ridiculous:

Harry Reid RAILED against the very thing he's doing right now, but @PoliticalWire calls McConnell dishonest. Sniveling bitch.

And it should put to rest the notion that Goddard is anything but another in a long line of lefty journo-hacks.
You're a fucking hack. RT @politicalwire Watching Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor just reminds me of how dishonest politicians can be.

@politicalwire Really? What is he lying about. And I suppose you've considered the ramifications for when the Senate is in GOP hands.

@politicalwire Did you delete your tweets about how dishonest this admin is? Can't find your "if you like it you can keep it" criticism.
— Cherie (@cheriebone) November 21, 2013
Good luck finding that.

FYI, this dude is a bigger hack than Greg Sargent. And that's saying something -> @politicalwire

.@PoliticalWire tries to act somewhat unbiased. Greg doesn't. RT @nycconservative @RBPundit: Dude. How is that even POSSIBLE?

It’s not just disingenous; it’s downright dishonest.
@politicalwire What planet are you from? The dishonesty of both this administration and most “journalists” is unparalleled.
