It was a rough week for the relationship between Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and the Capitol Hill press corps.
On Monday, Reid snapped at a reporter who asked him about calling President Bush a liar and a loser. Reid cut off a follow-up question.
Trying to stay on-message about domestic issues, Reid grew irritated again when another reporter asked him about Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who recently said a lot of Republicans "have never made an honest living in their lives."
Those incidents were just the warm-up for the near-bedlam that occurred Thursday during a news conference in Reid's office just off the Senate floor.
