Harry Reid: Quick, where's the poupon?

  A hilarious item that has gone viral overnight is this apparently real unpleasant encounter Harry Reid had in the cheese aisle of an upscale gourmet store with a common ordinary although somewhat cheeky citizen. 
  (Why would Harry Reid, leader of the United States Senate and pampered pol, go to a Kroger or, horrors, a Walmart to acquire his poupon?) 
  Read over at the personal blog of G.M. Heller. Here's a taste:

In a voice that could be heard on the other side of this medium-sized food emporium, the shopper with ObamaCare Repeal on his mind -- no shrinking violet he -- loudly declared to his fellow gourmands (many in lines waiting to check-out) that indeed the graying personage standing right there amongst them was none other than "U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid," and, pointing directly at Mr. Reid, said, "This man is personally holding-up the ObamaCare Repeal bill by refusing to allow it to be brought to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote," and which law if left on the books "can eventually bankrupt the United States of America."
From the check-out area came applause, apparently at the spectacle.
The stony -- now red -- faced Sen. Reid, appearing both annoyed and mortified at being the focus of this unexpected public scolding in the midst of what was to be a quiet moment spent Saturday shopping, tried not to be noticed -- hard to do when one is waiting in a check-out line with someone just a few feet away loudly gesticulating and pointing.
  Expect more of this. Politicians can't insulate themselves forever from the rabble.
  Rock on, patriots.
