Who: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
What: While debating a postal reform bill, he said: “Seniors love getting junk mail. It’s sometimes their only way of communicating or feeling like they’re part of the real world.”
Why it’s dim: A rather patronizing and out-of-touch thing to say.
Cure: Sign him up for more junk mail, of course. It might make him feel like he’s part of the real world.
