Well, folks, it’s finally over. The unholy, ridiculous and totally bizarre “non-aggression pact” between Nevada U.S. Sens. Harry Reid and John Ensign is crashing down.

It happened in the very last paragraph of a story today in the Review-Journal, in which Reid finally decided to take on well-known Senate obstructionist Tom Coburn, R-Okla., (pictured in the story looking a lot like the Unabomber). Apparently, Coburn likes to block Senate bills for long, pointless debates.

But Reid is calling him out, bringing a package of 35 bills that have broad support in both parties to the floor, even if it means voting on Saturday or Sunday. Coburn is objecting, and looking for a way to stall the bills.

Ensign, of course, is taking Coburn’s side because, well, Ensign is a tool.

“Individual senators have rights, and to try to destroy some of the traditions of the Senate, I think is a dangerous precedent to be setting,” Ensign said.

Got that? Ensign is saying Reid is out to destroy Senate traditions, and creating dangerous precedents. Translating the Senate speak to English, it’s as if Ensign is calling Reid an A-hole.

Is Reid going to take that? From Ensign, a man whose greatest accomplishments in Washington have been on various athletic fields? A man who held up mortgage reform, even though Nevada leads the nation in home foreclosures? (Finally, he was out of town when the final bill was passed!) A man who leads Senate efforts to elect Republicans, but who has mostly whined about how getting his ass kicked slightly less hard than expected will constitute victory? A man who … well, you get the idea.

Anyway, we fully expect Reid to reply, although the senator has been very, very good about holding his fire on Ensign, whom he defeated in 1998 by a mere 428 votes. (Ensign later won the seat vacated by the retiring Richard Bryan in 2000.)

Anything, Sen. Reid? Anything to say to the man who’s accused you of destroying Senate traditions and setting dangerous precedents? Perhaps something along the lines of, “If Senator Ensign took the time to carefully consider things, he’d realize that his entire Senate career has been such a stain on the institution and humanity itself, the only real solution is to resign in abject disgrace immediately. Oh, and he can go fuck himself.”

Feel free to use it, Sen. Reid. You don’t even have to quote us.
