I doubt most of the press corps is laughing with Harry (even though most of their probably mothers tried to teach them better manners).
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) channeled Nationals star and Las Vegas native Bryce Harper at his press conference Tuesday.
Asked by a reporter to respond to the fact that Senate Republicans are waiting for Mitt Romney to take the lead on the charged issue of immigration reform, Reid said, “I don’t want to answer that question, that’s a clown question, bro.”
The quip, modeled on one Harper gave to a Canadian reporter last week, elicited a burst of laughter from the press gaggle packed around Reid’s podium.
