On the Senate floor this morning, Majority Leader Harry Reid dismissed David Broder as “a man who has been retired for many years and writes a column once in a while.”

The jab came in response to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s citation of Broder’s column set to appear tomorrow.

Broder is 80. Reid is 69.
