"I'm disappointed in the sports page in the Washington Post, it's not nearly as good as it used to be. And the New York Times is not good either. But I read them."

-- Senate Majority Leader and media critic Harry Reid, bemoaning the poor sports journalism he's subjected to when he picks up the paper every morning. Reid continued to make sports comments on the Senate floor Thursday morning, comparing the New York Jets' indecision over their quarterback to GOP indecision over who their leaders are.
