Reid's temporary departure doesn't feel as much like a leave as it does a strategic maneuver meant to: a) keep him away from the media; and b) send the message to the public that he is making his family a priority. The desire to dodge reporters is understandable. It's hard to blame Reid for not wanting a personal matter to become any more public than it already is. The desire to make it clear that Reid is attending to his family's needs feels like spin.
Leave the guy alone and let him deal with his issues. This is one of those you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't situations. Can we stop talking about it for a while?
