Is Reid Primed for a Meltdown?

Harry Reid has pledged that the United States Senate will not seat Roland Burris, and despite recent reports to the contrary, Reid’s people are still out there saying that Burris isn’t welcome. Reid has also declared that Norm Coleman will “never ever serve” in the Senate again and vowed to lead the Senate until at least 2015. Apparently Reid is under the impression that he owns the Senate — it’s his to do with as he pleases and seat who he likes. Reid also seems to be under the impression that he is the only thing standing between this country and disaster:

Reid said he’s spent the last eight years as “a point on a spear going against George Bush.” “That’s what I had to do to protect the United States Senate and the country,” he said.
