WASHINGTON -- Sen. Harry Reid's provocative criticism of President Bush appears to be getting in the way of efforts by the Senate Democratic leader to promote other issues.
During a news conference Monday to advance an agenda on matters facing U.S. families, Reid testily cut off a reporter's questions about his descriptions of Bush as a liar and a loser.
"I know you hate to give up on that," Reid said. "I apologized for the loser. I haven't for the liar. But with all due respect to you: Maybe you could come up with something else."
When the reporter, Ed Henry of CNN, tried to follow up by asking Reid whether it is helpful to call the president a liar, Reid snapped, "I answered the question."
