Tell me that the man doesn't sound like a raving idiot here.

The four senators who met with President Bush at the White House Tuesday morning discussed a number of potential Supreme Court nominees, but Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said he thinks they've agreed not to name those names.

"We have a long ways to go," Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters after the breakfast meeting at the White House. He said President Bush has hundreds or thousands of names to go through and "he didn't give us any names."

Nevertheless, Reid added, "There were a lot of names discussed at the meeting, of which we're not going to talk about any of those names. I think that's an agreement that we have, and we'll stick by that."

So the president didn't name any names, but you discussed the names in the meeting. But you won't talk about them now because you may have made an agreement to keep the names that were not given but were discussed -- but you aren't really sure if you agreed not to talk about the names that were not named but were discussed.

Uhhhhh... right.

However, acting true to form, there was this detail from another participant in the meting.

[The names of women and Hispanics did come up, Sen. Patrick Leahy later told Fox News.]

This would be the same Senator Patrick Leahy whose leaking of classified material in the past has caused deaths.
