And the Oscar goes to Harry Reid – Reid claims that he only made deal with Ben Nelson because he knew all states would get it

Once again, it’s hard to find a word to describe a Democratic explanation of wrong doing beyond simply saying, “wow!!!”.

Greta Van Susteran had a great interview with Harry Reid.  During the interview, Greta talks about the Scott Brown victory.  Sticking to the Democratic talking points, Reid threw Coakley under the bus, making a quip about her three week vacation.  Greta quickly countered by explaining how Coakley was up huge in the polls right up until Reid and Ben Nelson cut a backroom deal subsidizing FOREVER all increases in Medicaid costs that Nebraska incurred due to Obamacare.

Harry Reid then attempted to claim that the deal was great for America and that he only made the deal with Nelson because he knew that in the end every state would get the same special deal.

Allapundit of Hot Air comments on Reid’s ridiculous comments, but more importantly reports on another Masscare failure:

[Reid] talking about how the Cornhusker Kickback was “terrific for our country.” Meanwhile, in other news today, Massachusetts insurers have temporarily stopped writing new policies because the state won’t let them raise premiums. Nothing to see here, move along.

It’s bad enough that Harry Reid cut the backroom deals with Nelson, along with the deals for Florida, Louisiana, Vermont, Massachusetts and others.  However, the fact that he can stand there and lie, and that he actually thinks that voters will believe him, is almost beyond belief.
