Unclear on the Meaning

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada apparently understands only two-thirds of his title. He gets the "Senate" part, because he's been one of Nevada's senators since 1987 (and has apparently never held a non-government job if you believe Wikipedia). He holds a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree and a law degree, so I feel safe in guessing he grasps the idea of "majority."

But the "leader" part, as in demonstrating leadership qualities, offering an example to emulate, working hard to get things done and all that other stuff? Nope. Can't be bothered.

Isn't the mark of a true leader the ability to identify with those who follow?

If so, he is just like 98% of his constituents.
