So, the story starts with Senator Dick Durbin posting on Facebook that a member of the Republican House leadership told President Obama, “I cannot even stand to look at you.”

Durbin did not name the Republican leader.

A day later the White House denied it happened.

And the next day, which would be today, comes the information that Harry Reid is the source of the story.   And there’s this —

The two senators who spoke to HuffPost did not hear the Republican make the remark, but said a top White House aide who was present later told Senate Democratic leaders that the lawmaker who said he couldn’t stand to look at the president was Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Rules Committee.

I am not saying that sounds exactly like something Pistol Pete Sessions would say, but you know what, dammit that sounds exactly like something that Pistol Pete Sessions would say.  I’d be willing to bet my best pair of pink boots that if he did not say it to President Obama’s face, he’s certainly said it behind his back.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Thanks to Carol for the heads up.
