The Harry Reid Connection – and you thought Abramoff was bad?

Sen. Harry Reid's famous words regarding the Abramoff scandal with Jim Lehrer's Online Hour on January 18, 2006:

"Think about this, the "pay and play" program. You as a lobbyist, you pay, and we Republicans will take care of you legislatively. That's why it hasn't come to the forefront. The arrogance of power, the culture of corruption has not come to the attention of the American public as it has the past several months."

And then we have this (be sure to download this, good for one day until 4pm tomorrow) that came out today produced by the Los Angeles Times. And how convenient, too, just 13 days later after Sen. Reid's appearance on Lehrer's show. Right now, for Sen. Reid, who is the minority leader of the Senate, he sits between a rock and a hard place.

The Los Angeles Times' graphical display of the four sons of Senator Harry Reid as well as his son-in-law shows how all benefited from Sen. Reid’s sponsored legislative efforts that have lined their company's pockets of at least $1.5 million dollars

Its Rush Limbaugh's pet name for Harry.

[Tim Long]

But is it just a parody of "Dirty Harry"?

[RWR8189]

As far as I can tell.
