Then again, nobody expects any class out of Dingy.

Via The Hill:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday refused to apologize for calling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) a “schoolyard bully.”

Asked whether he’d respond to Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-Utah) request that he apologize, Reid offered a terse “no.”

“When you accuse a colleague of being a schoolyard bully, you certainly don’t mean it as a compliment,” Lee said Tuesday evening. “I would encourage the majority leader to come down here and explain what he meant to say. … Many of us say things we regret, and that’s what apologies are for.”

Lee also said Reid’s insult violated Senate rules that prohibit personal insults on the floor.

Reid made the remarks on Monday after Cruz blocked the creation of a House-Senate budget conference committee. Cruz had wanted Democrats to agree to no new taxes in the budget before the conference started.
