Patriot Act Just "Kills" Harry Reid

As he throws his support behind it. From the Washington Times:

Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said yesterday that House Republicans can accept the USA Patriot Act deal struck Thursday, and key Senate Democrats also endorsed the proposed changes as a good compromise. "I think they were enough to make sure we can protect the American people," Mr. Hastert, Illinois Republican, told reporters as House Republicans were meeting on Maryland's Eastern Shore for their annual retreat. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who in December led a filibuster of the bill and boasted he had "killed" the last version, supports the new compromise, a spokesman for the Nevada Democrat said.

You think Reid's original comments will ever be used in future GOP campaign ads? Nawwww...
