Harry Reid: “Coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick”

I’m a little late in linking up to this recent alarmist quote from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, but better late than never:

HARRY REID: “the one thing we fail to talk about is those costs that you don’t see on the bottom line. That is coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick; it’s global warming. It’s ruining our country, it’s ruining our world. We’ve got to stop using fossil fuel.”

As the NRO Corner link notes, that was from an interview the Fox News Business channel did with Reid on Monday. 

Here’s the vid. 

The Politico’s Crypt blog reported that yesterday the video went viral and was the number one video on the “most viewed list” at YouTube.com.

Congrats, Senator – you can add this one to your growing collection of stupid quotes caught on tape.
