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.

The sordid stench of DC improved a little after Dirty Harry left.

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.

Harry Reid The Boxer

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.
