Pretty amazing editorial in one of the nation's most liberal papers. Even more surprising is the accompanying cartoon by Tony Auth.

[dfwgator]

Looks like the story is getting legs.

[NYC Republican]

I'm REALLY hoping this story has legs, but I'm not holding my breath.

[sono]

And pundits wonder why folks hate politicians ...

[Squeako]

There was no written agreement paper trail Brown told the Associated Press...

[Suzy Quzy]

This is a VERY complicated land deal....hope Hugh Hewitt can explain it today. Harry Reid is DIRTY Mafia.

[DCPatriot]

Who in the heck spends $400K for real estate and then 'sells' it for the same price 3 years later...in one of the hottest real estate markets in the USA?

Who in the hell gives away title to the property yet remains a 'partner' on a possible future development...ON A HANDSHAKE?

I've got a kitty litter box at home that smells better than this deal.

[tiredoflaundry]

I can help but think "Cankles" is behind this.

[adm5]

Reid can try and spin this as a 'technical error', which he'll correct asap, but the question is did this profit, show up on his federal tax return for that year?

Of course it didn't, therefore, he evaded payment of taxes on that earned income.

Pretty cut & dry. He'll be wearing an orange jumpsuit before too long. Oh, and Harry! Watch out for your cornhole, bud.

[concerned about politics]

While now insisting he did nothing wrong, Reid is also offering to make a "technical change" to his earlier ethics reports if the ethics committee so desires.

Oh c'mon. That's like Clinton rewriting his "Plan for Terror" (after Burglar stole it out of the national archives) and making it read like he actually "Tried , really tried to get Bin Laden".

Someone has some explaining to do.

[Paradox]

This may simply be a case that the MSM cannot afford to ignore. It would make them hypocrites to do so. By calling for Reids replacement, they may seek to take the high road.

Although quite liberal and therefore biased, the majority of reporters still TRY to be unbiased, at least in THEIR minds. The result of this is usually laughable, but so ingrained is the liberalism, they cannot see it.

When something like this comes out, however, the cognitive dissonance may simply be too great, even for them. Calling for Reid's head may be their way of saying "See? We are unbiased, we went after a Dem!"

[DCPatriot]

And just where did Reid's $400K come from on the purchase?

I'll bet somebody one hundred dollars U.S. that it was 100% financing no $$$ down!

[moose2004]

Drip, drip, drip, ouch!

[TomGuy]

Reid won't go anywhere, until after the election.

Then, Hillary will determine whether she wants to become new Senate [majority] Leader for the Dems or run for the White House.

For her, the Senate position would be easier to attain and would be a powerful position.

Decisions, decisions.

[DCPatriot]

"ROVE... YOU MAGNIFICANT BASTARD!!"

[hawkaw]

Wow. It's about time someone in the MSM started doing this.

Maybe this story will go a bit longer!

I watched Jim Angle's story on Brit's show last night and I must say I was really disaapointed with Angle's presentation.

Now I am feeling a little better.

[kevinm13]

The more we talk about this and the more liberal rags like the Philly Inquirer have the guts to call Reid on the corruption and unethical behavior, the longer it will have legs. The original AP story earlier in the week was very detailed and involved Reid, his son(s?), Jack Abramoff and his long time friend, a mob lawyer.

We need to explain it to the press as it is much more complicated story involving fake corporations for tax purposes, favoritism for land deals (abuse of power), corruption than the Foley scandal that was held by ABC until just the right time a month before the election.

Reid must go! Reid must go! (Keep repeating until it gets real traction) Reid must go!

[P-Marlowe]

There was no written agreement; Brown told the Associated Press that the two had been friends for 35 years and didn't need one.

All real estate transactions have to be in writing. If it was not in writing, then when Brown gave the money to Reid after the sale, it would have to be considered A GIFT!

That is a million dollar gift that Reid did not report. This makes Duke Cunningham look like a dime store shoplifter.

[katieanna]

Now calls for Reid's stepping down? Well shut my mouth!

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

"Americans have been shocked and even disgusted by revelations of corruption in our current system by Republican lobbyists, senior Bush Administration officials, members of Congress, and former congressional staff," Reid said in March.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Sounds like good 'ole Harry opened his silly mouth one time too many. Caused everybody to check out his crooked little land deal. A crooked man is destined to make crooked deals...
