Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic minority leader, was an amateur boxer in his youth, so he should know about haymakers. He directed one at Senator Mitch McConnell Wednesday when, criticizing the Kentucky Republican's fierce dedication to the coal industry, Mr. Reid concluded, "I don't mean to be mean-spirited, but he is a lump of coal."
There was no immediate comment or comparable name-calling from the courtly Mr. McConnell, the Senate's majority leader. But there seemed a decided air of freedom to Mr. Reid's feistiness now that he has announced plans to make this fifth term his last and exit the Senate next year.
What does he think of the crowded lineup of Republican candidates for President? "You know, I don't really care. I think they're all losers," the senator answered John Harwood of CNBC.
Referring to Mr. Reid's accident during a home workout in which he damaged his sight in one eye, Mr. Harwood told the senator, "In the last few days a bunch of people are saying, 'Reid, he didn't have an exercise accident. He got beaten up by the mob.'"
Mr. Reid easily bobbed away from that one, blaming right-wing radio polemicists. "How could anyone say anything like that?" said Mr. Reid. "I think a lot of people, as I read, they kinda don't like me as a person, and I think that's unfortunate."
