Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada bid a final farewell Thursday to his colleagues, following a 34-year career in Congress, the first four in the House, and 30 years in the upper chamber, where his leadership saw -- among other legislative accomplishments -- the passage of sweeping healthcare reform.
Reid, who has been the Democratic leader for over a decade, is retiring at the age of 77, just as Republicans have taken control of the White House and continued their hold on the legislative branch.

Anyone who wants to understand Dirty Harry should watch the film “Casino” which is the *true* story of the Mob’s control of Vegas in the 70’s/80’s.The character played by Tom Smothers,called simply “Senator”,was Reid when he was the head of the Nevada Gaming Commission before reaching DC.
[ After 30 years in the Senate, Harry Reid takes his leave of Washington ]
Translation: Some of the swamp is already being drained.
the passage of sweeping healthcare reform HAHAHAHA That is his Legacy?
Immortalized as a corrupt weasel in film.
Senator Dingy Harry Reid
“following a 34-year career in Congress”
Disgraceful.
Doubt he moves back to Searchlight. The Mrs. really likes Virginia.
The man is a despicable liar.
A.M.F!
The sordid stench of DC improved a little after Dirty Harry left.
I’m going to be nice.
FUHR.

AMF you MF AH
He’ll be trading in the smells of all those stinky visitors that visit the Congressional Mall for all the stinky foreigners and tourists of Vegas. nO pleasing, ol’ Dusty.
The Boxer
I was just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told.
For I squandered my manhood and my honor
For pockets full of baubles and gold.All lies and jests -
My promises were naught but lies and jests!
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.In the Senate stands the boxer, a dirty fighter by his trade.
And he harbors bitter memories of every fight that laid him low
Or cut him down.
Now he cries out in his anger and his shame:
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains!
Career politicians who spend a lifetime accumulating wealth and power are exactly why we need term limits.
When he dies I will gladly travel to Nevada just to piss on his grave.
Same goes for the Xlintons.
And Jane Fonda.
And Barbara Streisand.
This thread could get really long!
